Probably a dovetail, instead of a squared block, provides a bigger surface to glue in... but I'm not sure i had fully unerstood what "tapered dovetail" means.. was tapered dovetail pointed towards main screw looking like a wedge ? if so, how did old armourers mill away old wood in an accurate way? Or the tapered dovetail was pointed towards the muzzle? Too many question , i know. But all is very interesting...
