Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

the rod hole drilled straight as far as we can tell.........when i drill the front lock panel bolt, we'll know fer'sure! drilled with hand drill at 1/4" each cut...pull the bit, clean, re-insert, drill 1/4"...repeat for 15"!

before:

after:
it another hour with knife and chisels....lots of lamp black.......got the lock panel settled.......

tang bolt to trigger plate, then side plate to lock panel bolts.........yet to come~
the wood is still 1/8" "proud" around this area.....sandpaper time! the sides will be worked down and designed as i go...i will make templates of each side, so they are the same. then the forestock 'proud' wood will be sanded down... it get thinner and thinner~till the wood in places is only 1/8" thick....so i always store the rifle with the barrel and rod IN the stock!

hummm....maybe that's why i like ol thin Paris so much

I like the pics of how you lined the lock up with the barrel - I'll do that when I start on the flint grinder pistola... after I finish the book... and my P1841 Brit musket... and... it's a long list. SW
