Re: Henry Big Boy Classic .357 Sorting rear stock
Well I got the LOP shortened to 12.25" with a brass buttplate I order from Numrich gun parts. I really like the looks and feel. Also refinished the front and rear stock with a wax only finish. I like the feel of the warm wood and I can quickly sand out and refinish any nicks or scratches from now on.
I have a Large Loop coming and a saddle ring for it. Also a sling swivel because I like a sling on all my levers. More pictures to come.

Re: Henry Big Boy Classic .357 Sorting rear stock
With the shorter LOP, has the balance of the rifle changed? If so, where is the balance point now? Just curious.
I like what you have done, especially the brass butt plate.

Your project turned out nice. I couldn't be that brave to cut a rifle stock.

I really have not payed any attention to the balance of the rifle. I'm sure it is a little more muzzle heavy now after taking 2" of wood off the butt stock. but it is something that I don't even notice.

Thanks. I really like it and glad that it does not have the butt plate that comes over the top edge corner anymore and that the top of the stock (cheek weld) is not flat anymore but rounded like a regular stock.
