Now you tell me. I just finished putting new buckskin on 88 Kimball style knuckles, for an old Farrand Grand. And that wasn't any fun either. The sheet of buckskin had a variance in thickness enough to make some of the knuckles big fat and ugly. Ended up replacing the first buckskin on 2 dozen knuckles with a second try. Joe Garrett tells me that he has a method of leveling out the thickness of the sheet, don't have the details on the process. I do know one thing, I'll never replace buckskin on knuckles again, I'll replace the shanks/knuckles and new hammers. Yes, I know there is somewhat a difference in the costs between the two. I spent more time on it and I'm still not satisfied with the results. The new knuckles made the regulation a nightmare. Another vodka tonic please.
