I'm trying to inlet the octagon/swamped barrel into the stock (J. Chambers MS Virginia)[yes: breechplug is removed]. I keep scraping and checking and scraping and checking, but it just doesn't seem to go all the way in. It'll often fall to one side. :cursing:
Anyone: How can you tell whe the barrel is into the stock at the right point? Do I measure from the top of each vertical flat to where the wood begins to overlap it? Anyone have a measurement? I'm afraid of taking too much off etc.
Thank ye!
