Found my notes. Rifle was a Western Arms Corp. Sante Fe, N.M. Jedediah Smith 1799-1831. Serial number 22/1000. Walnut stock. Not well shaped. Unbrowned steel escutcheons. Slant breech. Clean out screw. Pewter forend. Rib screwed on. Barrel .54, 1x32", seven lands. Length of pull 15". Five steel tacks on each side of forend, seven on each side of buttstock in a lengthened plus sign. Owned by Jack of Salt Lake City, I don't know if he put the tacks in the stock or if it came that way.
Don't cut off the stock. I did that to a Track of Wolf Kit Carson Hawken stock, and the cheek piece came too near the buttplate. This on an unfinished stock. Don't even think of cutting a finished stock shorter.
