These are the stocks and cutout.
I found it interesting.

So THAT'S what dovetailed means!!

I don't have the first clue why that was done. If----IF it was done for a shoulder stock, there will/should be another little cut/gizzy somewhere up top on the grip frame. I can see altering the frame to take a shoulder stock. Modifying the grips seems "fraught with peril" as they say.

Cool EUREKA!!!

I know what this is-----is for----the dovetail. It just popped into my mind! (And if things like this pop into YOUR mind, you are clearly in (desperate) need of professional help-----quickly!!)

Picture this: A wrist band---about 3-5 " long---made of heavy leather---and laces up like a shoe (Never mind you'd need help to lace it up---and tie it.). Now that you've pictured it, put it on. Note your wrist is no longer flexible--it's rigid. Note also the wrist band has whatever a male dovetail is called---riveted to the bottom----protruding forward.

Now, with your off hand, slide the female dovetail in the bottom of the grip onto the male dovetail thing protruding from the bottom of the wrist band. Got it? Now wrap your grubby little paw around that grip, step up to the line, and shoot a perfect score----or at least a better score than you can shoot without the wrist band.

I'm not familiar with the rules and regulations governing bullseye shooting, but such a devise is probably forbidden----without a note from your doctor. If your doctor is a fellow competitor, get another doctor.

The End--and not a moment too soon!!

Ralph, I think you're on to something there but try this. Throw out the laces and replace with a zipper that has a big enough tongue that if need be you could use your teeth to zip it closed. What cha ya think?

Sounds like a plan---------but they'd have to be good teeth---not the kind that spend the night soaking in a glass!!
