Parts - Brass and "Furniture"

Here is the complete parts bag emptied and posed for the camera. It includes all the screws, insets, ram rod pipes and patchbox parts and so on.
I saw this and started digging around for the instructions quick! But there are none, this is a PARTS kit, not a DROP-IN KIT!! (what have I gotten myself into?)

This is the very nice Brass Patch Box comprised of three parts. This will be installed on the right hand side of the buttstock and will enclose a recessed box known as a patchbox for storing little bits and pieces needed in the field for reloading or repairs.
It is just a silhuette and looks nice as is, but really should have engraving done to it to make it perfect.

The Trigger Guard is Brass and is as cast, meaning it is ROUGH and nowhere near ready to be installed

A close look at trigger guard shows a lot of work needs to be done yet.

The Buttplate is solid brass and I will definitely be doing a lot of filing and sanding on this piece.
