I have a Single shot of 1874 Shiloh Sharps and am in need of a Leather cheek rest. I was told David Barns made them however I do not have any contact information. Any other suggestions?

Long range rules, the rest drool.
I like the Accu-Riser PTC-1000 here is link:

I like the Accu-Riser one a lot too. Once you get it laced up it's very solid.
Chris.
I ordered the Accu-Rise and received it Saturday. Love it!
Thanks Chris...!
Do you guys know if the Accu-riser will fit on a 1885 High Wall replica (Uberti) ?
Cap'n Morgan
Yes it will fit

Thanks, Kenny. Unfortunately it turned out Accu-Riser don't ship outside North America & Canada.
Looks like I'll have to pester an old friend of mine, living in Utah, to bring one over, next time he visit the old country - Or maybe just steal the design and make my own...

I just found this nice, Italian made, cheek rest.

It fits well and I think it looks great:
It's still more of a chin- than a cheek rest, but it'll have to do.

Thunder, I milled it from an aluminum billet. The original curved buttplate was murder on the shoulder with stiff loads.

Looks well made.. I went to their web site, rather pricey
thanks for sharing.
Thundermaker,
I agree, crescent butts on anything bigger than a 32-40 is not for me.
For my butt kicking 45-70 (Uberti) I bought (can't remember where from) a Hi Wall stock blank. Put a rubber, recoil-absorbing, pad
and sanded & oil finished the wood myself. While a little work it was a satisfying process that adds to the rifle. I refinished the front stock to match as I don't care for the hi gloss finish that Uberti provides.
FWITW, the straight (not set) trigger is surprisingly light w / no creep.
Cap'n Morgan, if you ever decide to offer those butt plates for sale, I would be interested.
Too much hassle, I'm afraid. I do have a 3-D model on a computer somewhere if anybody would try to print a butt plate.
It should be quite doable to cast an aluminum part from a 3-D printed part like this guy does, but it would still be a hassle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Aau...=BrianOltrogge
