Stainless steel barrels aren't period correct either as far as I know, LOL, and the shape and dimensions of the stock are a perfect fit for me, I have a shotgun and two rifles stocked to those same dimensions, and they are a perfect fit, and handle beautifully in my hands. Of course I doubt any of those guns would work for very many other people. I'm a knuckle dragger, LOL. This one wasn't built to replicated any particular period correct M/Ler. I built this for myself on a budget just because I wanted it. Total cost in materials was less than $300.00 plus my spare time. If I was building for a customer it would have all the period correct furniture, and be stocked accordingly. But since I was building for myself I get to take any liberties I want with it. For instance I used compression springs in the locks, instead of V-springs, and the brass is just a looks thing, I do know that brass with acidize in walnut, but I'm not to worried about it, given the way I finished this stock it's not likely to be a problem.
