Thanks for the comments. Made a mistake and gouged the right front of the receiver. Took it to a poor TIG welder to repair. Now have blow holes in place of the gouge.

Joe, Will not make it to Raton. Again, mobility problems.

Bob, Have not tested it yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

DB, Nice cheekpiece. Also like the molding behind the pistol grip but am chicken to try it.
Good thoughts. The extractor tends to bend when pressure is applied. Will try to add some support for the tail end of the extractor.

GT, Agree on the price of silver solder but we need it.

Vall, Wood work is not my favorite thing but will try it. Will miss you guys at Greeley.

Added some support for the tail end of the extractor and slightly reduced the lift as DB advised.
Extractor now works as advertised. Getting about .20" lift, was about .25"

Chuckster,
Here's another Maynard stock with a cheekpiece. Fitted with  a Winchester Buttplate. You've done a great job with your Maynard!

Thanks, Spud. Several things I like on that stock. Have something similar sketched but cheekpiece moved up and forward.
