I just received my Tenn Mt walnut precarve from PR today, along with various parts... I'll post some photos when I get a chance. It is a very nice piece of walnut and shaped very nicely. PR does a top notch job.
After laying things out and doing some eyeballing, I am concerned that using the recommended Tenn Mt. buttplate, which is fairly curved, will result in a too short trigger pull. I'm 6'3" with fairly long arms, and the stock actually fits me fairly well as it sits uncut for a buttplate.
The potential problem, as I see it, is that the toe of the buttplate is a good bit rearward of the crown ... meaning, I assume, that I am going to have to move the crown inward toward the barrel so the toe catches the wood when I lay things out to cut for the buttplate.
An ideas for a substitute with less curvature that would look kosher on a TN Mt? Cold bend it to reduce the curve? Am I crazy, or is it just me?
