Nice work Bill. Takes a lot of patience and good tools. And good hands too!

As a lover of puns, the first half was quite boring. Good job, as I had been wondering about using either one or two screws.

Quite an interesting butt plate, slightly similar to some of the "Kentucky" hooked butt, also used across the chest. Yours is quite ornate, tho well suited for the rifle.

It works exactly the same as the normal hooked but plates, but is much more stable. Trigger hand does not support any weight at all. That butt plate is essentially the same as what they still use on the modern target rifles. Difference is that the modern ones are all adjustable. Look up Walther KK500 target rifle and you will see just how similar the modern target rifles are to the old schuetzen rifles.
