Bren MK2 Butt repair

[Flying10uk]

Yes the wood pegs are custom made by self out of oak. The other patches are made from hardwood offcuts that I have saved thinking that they "may come in useful one day". I am intending to retain the horrible overhung butt plate as a good example of poor design but I will try to be careful not to drop the Bren heavily on the butt. My whole working life has been spent in the metal working/engineering industry and so I'm interested to see how metal objects are designed and made and also the differences between manufacturers. Even poor designs such as the overhung butt plate are of interest to me and worth saving.
