Small fowler butt plates ???
« on: June 27, 2013, 01:45:21 AM »
Does anyone out there know of ANY smaller lite weight cast brass English type fowler butt plates ?  I make quiet a few small bore smoothies & would like to find something that won't over power a 50 or 54 cal. gun.  Something like 1-1/2" wide (maybe less) 4-1/2" high with a fowler return on top.   Any out there ????    Tom

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'?

Tom, I sent an email to the gmail address listed in your profile - contains a photo catalog I took of Reaves' offerings, as well as a list of his parts.  His phone number is on the list.  Best,
