Fred Miller's Stock Patterns
The following pages contain pictures of patterns that belonged to Fred Miller.  These were collected
over about a 30 year time span.  They are listed with the names that he refered to them by and the
approximate dimensions. Some can be inlet for butt plates and wooden patch boxes or the butt can be
left square for your own hardware and added length of pull.

We will add more of his patterns to this page as time permits.

At the present time I have about 200 different patterns to catalog.
If you don't see what you need just give us a call or email.
