Identification
Notes on the forestock are still at the bench
Identification notes are written one part at a time, from pieces Butch has had in hand — so this section fills in as he works through the vocabulary rather than all at once. If you are trying to identify a forestock you already own, he answers those directly at butch@butchsantiquegunparts.com.

No interchange recorded yet
Butch Schoeller writes these notes only from parts he has handled. A blank section means nothing has been checked yet — not that everything fits.

Availability
Nothing of this type is listed at the moment. Most of this catalog is one-of-a-kind, so stock turns over item by item rather than being restocked — posting a wanted listing is the reliable route, and aggregated requests are what tell Butch which parts to make next.
