[quote=Zonie]You might want to plan on recutting your butt plate contour later on down the road.

The rules for building a rifle says the breech plug face in the barrel tells the lock where it is going to be installed.

The lock tells the trigger(s)s where they are going to be installed.

The trigger(s) tell the butt plate where it should be installed.

I'm not saying you can't build your gun as you see fit but your going to have to do some fancy measuring and figuring to get everything to work out. :)[/quote]


I have my resident BP enginer telling every step~


and here's the barrel being laid~
I outline with a shrap chisel....then saw some with a plain old hand saw....I did use a little of Jacobs table saw....but that was too much hard work figguring the depth...old hand saw works good...then a tiny-tiny 1/4" wood plan:

lots of curls!...and she falls deeper and deeper...I use a 24" sanding bar from my R/C airplane days.....a few chisels and:

13-1/2" pull.......my barrel will plop where the bolster drum is comming out, to make the dang curve of the lock follow the wrist to the center....then the wrist will fall into the comb, which is over the rear trigger guard point....


zonie....my elevator never has been to the top floor~!
