    I was an idiot and drilled it for the screws. Ill be purchasing a new lock plate and find a better place to set the screws. Slowing down quite a bit on it because im waiting for parts and ive been getting the vegetable garden all set up. Also have to get the coop done before the chicks arrive.

    That's such an impressive skill, I feel like a caveman everytime I pick up a chisel and beat the wood into submission. That is an amazing job, you should be proud.

    Back from the field and finally able to get the whole lock assembled and all the individual parts of the lock inletted. Now I'll move on to inletting the sideplate while I wait for my barrel staples to get here. I went alittle ham with the chisel so I will have to use some filler on some gaps...

    Finally got the parts in the mail. Here is a picture of the stock inletted for just the barrel. It seems they use a router bit or something because the end near the butt is rounded and not cut out so thats what I got to work on first. And here it is after I have roughly evened it out...

    Quick second shot?

    Since my grandpa first took me hunting when I was 6, I have always remembered one thing he told me over all. "If you cannot hit the buck with 100% certainty that you will kill it, never take the shot." I have never put a follow up shot in a deer following the typical line up. Aim, shoot, thank...

    I've got a one piece fullstock on the way as well as a flintlock on the way. Ordered a vent, drills and taps so I can fix the hole size in the barrel. I chopped off the pqrt that the nipple attaches too and smoothed it out with a file. When my parts get here ill be able to drill and tap the hole...
