Cool! Does look early, wonder how wide the butt plate is. How do you know it was not a dickert? Kind of looks like the rear of the trigger guard had a screw originally (plugged hole)? And did you get the sideplate and pipes with it? You sure it s a restock? Sometimes stocks were later “modernized”.

Buttplate 1 7/8 wide. Patchbox is Beck. Not sure it was restocked I’ve nothing but pics to compare. Stock is very old. No cheek piece. I didn’t get the pipes

Any plans for a restoration...or is there not enough left other than what we see in the photos to make it reasonable and worthwhile?

 Relic, restock, whatever, it's still pretty cool.

   I’m undecided at this time. Someone with a signed Beck barrel has reached out to me. A signed lock would move this toward restoration

Interesting trigger.  That's the second one I've seen this week that had parallel sides and a square end to the shoe.  That's a feature I've never noticed before, and I've always thought triggers were rounded on the tip so that's the way I've made mine.  Live (pay attention) and learn.

That square end of the trigger is a characteristic of J P Beck and N Beyer.

The forearm is still there John But just passed the ramrod entry pipe. Everything is gone.

Patch box, trigger, and trigger plate all are indicative of Lebanon School.

That patchbox I’ve seen on 3 JP Beck signed rifles and 1 Christian Beck from the Kindig collection.
