	I really love Swiss buttplates, and crescent buttplates. But the crescent is more of an aesthetics thing for me. I just like the look of old American rifles with that style buttplate. The Swiss buttplate is both aesthetics, and functionality for offhand shooting. I love most single shot rifles, but the more exotic schuetzen rifles have always been my favorite.

	I agree, I have a sweet tooth and just love the look of a DST, pronged butt, schuetzen rifle. Strictly built for target, not stalking or hunting. I can appreciate not being jabbed by prongs, I really like them all, even starting to appreciate military rollers. Aaron

	"I need to make a buying trip to the Old Country." Dave Crossno has the pattern for the #3PG, he duplicated my #3PG butt stock. He can make you stock no problem. He also has an extensive selection of other Ballard stock patterns.

I'm not sure what it would take to get me to let go of my Pacific in .45-70? I really like it. Or a number of other crescent or shotgun buttplate Ballards I own. Loving the schuetzens doesn't stop me from also loving the rest! (a little less!)

	One thing only I dislike about so-called SG plates: that ridiculously inapt terminology, which (probably owing to the contrast with Kentucky rifle design) is unique to this country, I suspect. What are they called in Britain? Yes, fowling pieces had broad flat plates, but so did all military muskets, so did the Baker rifle, so did US rifles up until the time of the 1858 rifle-musket, when a slight curve was added to the plate that continued (probably for reasons chiefly of economy) through the trap-door era; but that aberration ended with the Krag.

	I have a buttstock for maybe a 3pg that some one in time filled in the tang of the buttplate and added a Ballard swiss plate. I don't think I will ever use it.
