butt Plate
« on: April 22, 2022, 08:03:21 AM »
Does anyone know where I can find a Reeves Ghering #4 butt plate?  I probably spelled the name wrong.  Appologies to Reeves.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I'd have to see a picture to know if I have it or not.

Somewhere there is a picture of butplates and trigger guards, but I can't seem to find it. It should be made into a reference because now and then Reeves stuff shows up in all sorts of places. Is his daughter doing any casting?
