I am not going to bad mouth or put anyone down. This guy is happy as a lark and enjoying his build, and good for him. Video shows the way he inserts barrel
keys in the escutcheons.
I am pretty sure he will not need barrel key retainer pins.

That has a very good chance of splitting the stock when shooting it. Especially in different temps.....hot of summer....cold of winter.

On my wedge key rifles you can push them in and out with your thumb. Nice and snug, but no hammer required.
 
I found his videos on YouTube. There is some good stuff there. I won’t bad mouth his gun building either. I just didn’t understand some of the things he did.
 
I have a T/C New Englander, wasn't paying attention and put the wedge in upside down. (Thought it went in harder than usual.) Pulled the escutcheon down and cracked the stock.

That'll learn me...........
