Sliding Buttstock
Sliding Buttstock
So who else has the buttstock on their Henry slide around during shouldering-and what was used to alleviate said problem-inquiring minds would like to know.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
If you are referring to the brass buttplate sliding, the stock cover I have is rough-out leather on the end. No slide. Can't see the end in the pic but it form fits the butt plate. I don't use this cover much but it certainly holds tight to the shoulder. Made by Ricochet Roy. Hope this helps.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
To me, if ya want that pretty and shiny slick brass, then that might be a factor. Unless you do what RR and some others have done, you might just have to adjust to it. The BBB rifles are very pretty, however, I can see that as something I might have to get used to.I own a BBS partly for that reason. I don't want as much of a show piece as much as I want a secure comfortable shooter. If some day, I can afford to add brass to my collection, I would be proud to.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
I prefer my rifle without it, both for looks, historical accuracy and I actually like the way the crescent stock fits snug in my shoulder. It's a very low recoil rifle anyway at 45 Colt.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
Beautiful! Rifle RR. Have seen and admired it. I know especially YOU know THAT rifle and shoot it at expert level. Just saying as more of a novice, and never having owned brass, I can imagine his issue.RanchRoper wrote:I prefer my rifle without it, both for looks, historical accuracy and I actually like the way the crescent stock fits snug in my shoulder.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
Aside from leather covering that pretty butt stock, maybe just a tighter register on the gun...

Re: Sliding Buttstock
You definitely have to be comfortable. There's no doubt the stock cover helps make it sit tight with no slip. Gunstockcover.com has real nice ones too. I had one of his on my old Big Boy.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
He does nice work. And they really fit well.
Here is a better look at the Ricochet Roy one.

Re: Sliding Buttstock
Once again...WOW, he does beautiful work. Would jump right on one of those if I could. Did not see any prices though. Probably a good thing at this point. Craftsmanship of that caliber justifies price!
