I read the letter by Theodore Romaineabout restocking a Spl 45 0trapdoor carbine (Nov 8 and had torespond My t project was restockinga M1883 trapdoor e and I had noreal expeence or training for the job Fit of all we to Bwnell Inc Box1 Monteuma Iowa 501 1 and orderthe catalog of gunsmithing supplies($2 50 free for licensed dealers Theredenitely are special tools you 'll needI have many power tools but the stockcan be made with mosty hand toolsYou must have a patte stock Ifyournew stock doesn 't match the inal ineve deta all your work wl be fornaught Beg boow or steal an inal stock frm another trapdoor carbine (either M3 or M84 A contourgauge and outside calipe are alsomusts

Inlet the bael into the stock rstand do evething else om that It wlhe to have the blank cut square or atleast symmetcal about a vertical centerline Then inlet the bael along thisline and the stock should come outstraht and without twist om nose tobutt Next bng the outside to naldimension and contour starting at thenose and working toward the butt (thisdirection could be reversed /the blankis square Use the contour gauge calipe andyardstick oen To do the outside shaping many tools can be usebut my constant companion is adoubleended Swedish rasp (#553 p88 Bwnell's catalog

Now you can inlet the lock Remember the inside should look as authenticas the outside Vaous Dremel or Foredm bu (rota cutters in a dlpres are best for the job in my opinion The butt plate tger guar baelban etc can be inletted in dierentorders The ramrod channel tang screwhole and sideplate screw holes must be

done carefuy There is no oom for error The part of the ramrod channel exposed to the outside can be done laboriously by hand or with a rota cutterDl the remainder with a in dlbit braed to a 36in rod

Some other things you ' need Jerw 's inletting black (paint it on ametal parts to be fitted to woo auut a Surm bael inlettingtool (all avaable om Bwnel andcaers ' chisels are all necessa for thebael inletting and other parts as wellYou wl not need any checkeng tools

Finish the stock as you would otherwood projects Stain to a ediumbwn with a sght reddish tint Finishwith boed linseed o only A hhlustre or plastic nish was never seen onarmyssue arms

I'm sure there are some things I haveforgotten entirely and many I haveshted Just remember always to proceed with caution and t to solve allproblems mentally before actuayjumping into the stock
