Sheetz Virginia Stock
This stock is shaped from an original John Jacob Sheetz Virginia rifle decorated in silver inlays and brass mountings. We had access to two rifles, each with a different triggerguard style. One smaller guard for single trigger bow and one for a larger double trigger. Both of these guards have been produced and match the buttplate of both rifles. The original rifle had a swamped barrel, but this stock is available in straight octagon barrels up to 7/8”; and, A & B weight barrels. The Sheets family is one of the most gifted families in the gunsmithing world ever known. I purposely had this pattern made full so that all (that I am aware of) Sheets styles can be made from this basic architecture. Note in our new list of patchboxes the choices of Virginia patchboxes you have! Also matching sideplates can be made if you don’t see the one you need! Right hand only.
