    order of operations.

    Yup it can be done either way. If your stock is in the square, I'd do it now, but take off the excess material on either side of the barrel, not to final dimension, but to lessen the wood you have to drill through. Easier to drill an accurate hole through less wood, than thicker. Less chance of...

    SOLD Zihn Hawken for Sale

    I need some ideas

    Even in the past Farmers could be very successful. Most would delve into other income streams as well. But I see what you mean, the true subsistence farmer probably would not have had as fancy rifle, more than likely a smoothbore IMHO. Maybe the OP can tell us how successful his farmer is.

    Anybody have this problem

    Actually it's got a aged finish of tincture of iodine and blueing. When I had the barrel made it was made with thin walls as the original was. Maybe that has something to do with it. It heats up fast, not like hot to the touch, but just makes almost like a mirage at the front sight after 3...

    Anybody have this problem

    The only gun I have left from when I used to build guns is a New England Fowler with a 55 inch barrel. I love the gun, but it's hard to shoot because after a shot or two, the heat dissapating from the length of the barrel actually distorts my front sight. I made the sight a small sliver of...
