This video demonstrates the process of setting the drop on a semi-inletted buttstock, a crucial step in gunsmithing. Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, guides viewers through using a straight edge clamped to the barrel rib to mark the desired drop on the buttstock. He then details filing the comb and heel to the marks and connecting them with a flat surface. The demonstration utilizes a Parker Brothers sidelock double shotgun, showcasing a practical application of this gunsmithing technique.
