calculations to determine measurements for proper stock fit Explanation: https://www.jagdwelten.com/krieghoff-von-jagdbuechsen-und-de... Der alte Schäfter Fleischmann macht sich um die vorletzte Jahrhundertwende an die Arbeit und ermittelt die günstigen Schaftmaße in Bezug auf Länge, Senkung und Schränkung. So wird ein Rechenverfahren entwickelt, das es erlaubt, aus den Körpermaßen die richtigen Schaftmaße zu ermitteln. Dieses Schaftmaßverfahren wird sogar 1903 unter der Nr. 123902 patentiert. http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=20014.0 The question comes up every so often on various forums about how to measure for stock fit... I rarely get to meet my customers in person, so I use these worksheets and formulas, along with several questionnaires to fit their rifles... "A" is drop at comb. It is measured about 2" back from the nose of the comb. Take "B" and subtract "A" from it. That's going to be the drop at heel. You will find that most men have the heel above the top of the shoulder, so you can even subtract 3/4" to 1" from this if you like. You'll see how it works out when you transfer these things to paper. Take "C" and Subtract "B", whatever the difference is divide by 4. That's you cast off. Take "D" and subtract 1/4" to 1/2" for a warm weather gun and subtract 1/2" to 1" for a cold weather gun. That's your length of pull. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2018-01-18 00:23:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe algorithm or numerical method. |
