Bill, not sure if this was covered or not.

I would leave clearance at the front of the butt plate tang surfaces and the rear of the breech plug tang.

In case the gun gets dropped on the butt plate, all the force will be driven into the tang.

Same affect on the rear of the breech plug tang. As the wood behind the barrel compresses the tang will be a wedge.

Just my thoughts!

[Bill Raby]

I did think of that. The back of the tang and front of the butt plate are tapered on the bottom. That way any impact from recoil or dropping is going to push that part up slightly instead of straight into the wood. It is also fully bedded around the butt plate and tang. There is no direct wood to metal contact. So I think it should be fine.

The swirl pattern on each side of the tang; you might try reversing the pattern from top to bottom. So the pattern runs along the tang and then turns down. Just a thought.

   You Tube removed 10 of my videos this week. They say the videos violate their firearm policy. Seems like the videos they don't like were randomly chosen. I did their appeal thing and am still waiting to see how that turns out. Maybe they will come back and maybe they won't. You Tube says that if I violate their policy again I get suspended for a week. After that I get kicked off for good. I will keep doing the videos the way that I have been. If I kicked off that might be the end of it.

   This rifle is finished now. I have fired it a few times. All the videos are done and posted on You Tube. All the videos are available to the Patreon members and I make the next one public every friday. Most of the videos they took off are ones that have not been made public yet. So there might be a few videos missing coming up. You Tube actually took down a video that is nothing but engraving. A lot of people seem to like the intros that I have been doing so I put together a video that is nothing but the intros. They removed that one for violating their firearm policy even though there is no firearm in the video. Its just the goofy intros.

   You Tube is still doing their appeal thing. They are wildly inconsistent in how they handle this sort of thing so who knows how it will turn out.
