I have a hankering to do something odd. Who makes a decent reproduction of a late 1880s to early 1900s palm rest? I can do simple inletting with my mill as needed. There should be a hooked buttplate somewhere, so having a bull barrel won't pivot the rifle forward.
BTW, I found a hooked buttplate already slotted and with a correct tube for use with a Remington 540-XR. Now I can use my Freeland "Mr. Cairo" #2 (IIRC) palm rest without having to hold onto the pistol grip with a vice.
