a while back i came across a .32 cva squirrel rifle barrel. found what i thought was a cva squirrel rifle stock. found a double set trigger and trigger guardd and put it all together. shots way to good. it is lacking a butt plate, i found a cva squirrel rifle butt plate but it aint right for the rifle. the stock seems to be like a t/c cherokee or something because it takes a butt plate like a t/c hawken or something like that. any ideas would be helpful. i'd like to finish it up, brown the barrel and sell it off.i'll post a pic here right quick.
great, now my phone wont post a pic....... but it looks like the butt plate on the t/c on the head of the page. the cva squirrel rifle as far as i can tell has a butt plate like the frontier, no comb, just flat against the butt of the rifle. this one has a comb, and it also has two lock plate screws instead of just one, like the t/c lock
if the squirrel rifle parts fit the stock it may be a cva crockett stock.

I didn't have to do it he figured it out.... :applause: :applause:
wouldnt let me do it from the phone so i went to the old school camera. down loaded it onto the puter and did it that ways. but still cant resize them to right size.
ok, i think i solved the mystry behind this stock. it has two lock plate screw holes, the t/c has but one. the forends are almost exactly the same on both the t/c and the cva, at least looking at pictures. after close examination with some good glass i found pencile marks on the comb and the butt end of the rifle and what look like after market mill marks on the wood. this leads me to believe that whom ever had it prior to me was going to modify it for a t/c looking butt plate.
i found one that will fit in track of the wolf catalog with some slight file work. its brass, was wanting to do a steel butt plae, steel estachons, trigger guard, brown it all and call it good. so i guess the search will continue for a steel butt plate that will fit.......
One of our more storied members posted an article on home made steel buttplates a while back. If you are even slightly handy with an angle grinder these are easy to make. I know because I made one and if I did it, it had to be easy. Here is the link to the post:

Hopefully I did that right and the link works.
hmmm thats great, thanks. i may just do that
I also remembered Mongrels post on butt plates. Be worth a call or PM just to see if he still has one lying in his pile of sawdust...
