i finished lowering the barrel channel this afternoon. sanded and stained the channel so hope i don't need to do any more.
opened the Track pack. the trigger guard has 5 long casting tabs and 3 for pinning. enough brass in those tabs i may cast something from them.
need to reshape the guard some but looks ok. butt plate is pretty clean. RR pipes and entry pipe are nice. trim the tabs and polish. no seam lines to file!
tomorrow i will lay out everything and trim the stock to shape. prayers will be appreciated for that process. measure twice, cut once. i can still get it wrong!
thinking of writing another book. title this one "How to turn $700.00 worth of parts into a $400.00 dollar gun"
