Great thread I stumbled upon. I will be watching as well. I'm currently building a .45 Lancaster from parts off a broken rifle. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to re-use the parts. They are from a friend's rifle that his dad built for him in the late 80's.

Looking good! I have only done one. This was harder than inletting the lock for me. Maybe the practice is making me better at inletting or maybe not! I ended up having to unbreech it to finish it.

Thanks bud . Each one still fights me but the process is started to come to me quicker through repetition which I like , I always was slow . This is number 54 . Each one is a chore but having that baby in your hands after the shellac is dry , then firing it off the first few times ...always worth it.

You and me both. So much to know and not a lot of time left. I sure enjoy the build process though. @Rob M. does such a great job. I do plan on several more builds but I would like to own one custom made gun. I wonder who I should contract with for that?

Great builder not too far from you is Jim Parker at Calvary Longrifles in Warrior Ala. Give him a call and discuss what you would liked built. Just do an internet search and Calvary Longrifles will come up.

Make the black spots go away !!

There's the thing. At some point it should be ALL black!
Knowing when it is inlet properly and at the correct depth is part of the art.

I have to do that soon too for the first time. A quick rundown of how it’s done would be amazing and very appreciated! Thanks!

I appreciate the offer Rob, you make beautiful rifles. This barrel cost me a fair bit and shipping to Canada so I don't want to screw it up! If I can get a few pointers from someone who has done a few, then I'm all for that. When I get things here I'll send you a message and maybe we can chat on the phone.

Your speed at putting these together is amazing. My undiagnosed ADD doesn’t allow me that level of focus. Or maybe I’m just a bit lazy.

Rob where did you get that vice?

Will also be asking about marking the stock to drill the pin holes!

Yes sir. This is my third rifle. I've also built a pistol. I will try to upload a few pics. With all due respect, not my thread. Don't want to be disrespectful. I would appreciate the manual though. Can't have enough instructions and information. I will pm my email address. Thank you much.

It's Rob's thread so if he wants to go down the rabbit hole with us I'm in!
