Just to update those that have expressed an interest in this build, I spoke to Doc White on the phone last Wednesday, and he has started in on the Javelina stocks for my Optima V2 pistol.
He is having ongoing issues with the torn rotator cuff tendon (s ?) in his right shoulder which he injured just shy of 2 years ago when he fell down a steep flight of stairs. He told me that this drastically limits what he can do, as well as how long he can do it.
I feel blessed that I have been able to have been fit into his work queue, and that he was willing to take on the project. No other handgun stock maker that I contacted would do so.
He will be posting images on his White Muzzleloading website of the completed pistol, mounted with a Weaver 2.5-8 × 28mm scope on the DuraSight scope base; the muzzle brakes (1 installed on the pistol); the loading funnel; the T-handle loading tool (the funnel acts as a bore guide); the knurled muzzle cap; the custom ramrods (1 under-barrel, 1 range); the push button sling swivel bases; the sling swivel & single point tactical sling; the flush mounted Spartan Classic Gunsmith Adapter in brass, and the Spartan Javelin bipod.
Take the image of the 1-pc Javelina stock, split it into a separate pistol grip, with a longer forearm extending forward of the stubby Javelina pistol grip., and mate them with the image of Optima V2 pistol. Add a push button sling swivel base to the bottom of the primary pistol grip. Place the second push button sling swivel base near the tip of the forearm.
Approximately 1" to the rear of the sling swivel base in the forearm, place the Spartan brass gunsmith adapter. Both of these fittings must be far enough in front of the stubby pistol grip so that when a sling swivel is connected, or a monopod/bipod/tripod is connected to the pistol's forearm; the knuckles of the weak hand gripping and pushing against the pistol grip, completely clear those attachments.

My pistol WILL NOT have the reinforcing bar that connects the bottom of both pistol grips. Due to the Optima V2 pistol being a break-action firearm.

Bye-the-bye, at the time of this post, the Optima V2 pistols are still in stock at muzzle-loaders.com
