A gun I recently acquired came to me without a barrel wedge. The wedge out of a TC New Englander is too small in width and thickness, it just drops into the stock and then wiggles both side to side and up and down. I don't have any bigger wedges in stock to test fit. A check on line at Track of the Wolf shows quite a few in several different sizes, both in brass and steel.
As to the brass vs steel, is there a reason other than cosmetics to pick one material over the other?
And second, am I correct in thinking I want the largest wedge that will fit through the escutcheons and the under-barrel lug?
Thanks so much.
