Installing Toeplates

After attaching your buttplate and rough filing to the shape of your buttstock, determine your lower flat width by the exposure on the sides of the lower triggerguard rail. Fit your toeplate, attach, and file the edges with the wood. When filing and shaping metal and wood simultaneously, always file from the wood to the metal. Otherwise shards may be transferred and damage your stock. Never pry or force lift a metal fitted part if its surface is below the wood. Always file metal flush with the wood surface first!
