Default Changing a fighting butt?

Hi

I have 2 T&T 12wts with different fighting butts-

Click the image to open in full size.

Id like to take the one on the left off and replace with one similar to the right one.

How easy is it likely to be, do I heat it to loosen it?

Also where can I buy one like the one on the right?

Cheers Colin

Assuming they don't simply unscrew and you can't buy one from a T&T dealer .

Cut the offending one off the blank carefully - recork it - use ZapA Gap as your glue- then lathe turn it down with assorted sandpaper - and do use the best cork you can find .

Best wishes

Steve P

Cheers for the advice Steve, it doesnt unscrew and shaping one myself is probably beyong my skill level.

I see David Norwich makes fighting butts ,hes local so i"ll take it to him and get him to match it.
