I had the unfortunate experience recently of watchng my boat go up in smoke on the highway. Unfortunately my Lyman great plains rifle was inside it at the time not to mention other very expensive items.
I salvaged the barrel from the aftermath along with parts. Obviously the stock was destroyed so I am looking to build my first stock to replace it.
I'm thinking of shortening the barrel to 28 inches. I'm wondering if anyone could give me the dimensions of a Lyman great plains stock and/or a Lyman trade rifle.
E.g.. drop at heel. Length of stock. Depth of forearm etc.
I've not done much stock work before so any help or advice would be be very much appreciated.
