Butt plate with non-rectanguler tang

[Lone Wolf]

What is the correct procedure when inletting a butt plate with a non-rectangular tang, like might be found on an english fowler?

Is it best to lead with the tang in the downward direction and then creep it forward as the plate is fit to the butt, or first fit the plate to the butt and then inlet the tang in the downward direction?

If you haven’t done so, you might want to do a search on “butt plate inlet”.  There’s some really good info on this subject that has been discussed before.  Hope that helps.   Best,
