    Where to

    Well
    I intend restocking it
    It is most likely safe to be shot with a 50% charge ... the bore is vastly better than most Snider's I have seen.

    I will be looking for a suitable trigger guard that will take a stock screw at the rear and wood screw at the front.
    It could be brass or steel
    Plain steel shotgun style butt plate.

    Other than that I am not constrained by there being a correct type for this rifle because it is a One Of A Kind

    Probably straight grip
    Probably reasonably short fore end
    Likely fairly light because its only a 577 Snider after all

    Keen too get some input from those of you that are into this old stuff also
    john m and Finnwolf like this.
