[Roderic Bickerton]

I believe I have seen gudgeon plates on wood stocks that stand the stock up
about 4 inches.
I think they were cast and probably Victorian but I cannot remember where I
saw them.
They were shaped so that the stock fitted into them a little.
It solved the problem of "tuck up" on a wood stock.
