Although I have "built" 3 Chambers "kits" and a few other's, I've otherwise always built LRs from a blank. Early on did the bbl inletting and RR work on my first 4 builds, but then got bored w/ these tasks and sent the blanks and bbls to those who specialize in doing this work. First it was Fred Miller and now it's Dave Rase.Have procured blanks from various suppliers depending on the "grade" the customer req'd and now w/ the "spec" builds, get most of the maple blanks from Dunlap.Actually....using a bandsaw and sawing to the line after the bbl and RR work are done, doesn't leave much wood to be removed....mainly the buttstock. ...which is vertically sawed and chunked off w/ a straight chisel.....Fred
