Ok - first “from scratch” project. The lines I have laid out - top one is the bottom of the barrel (the deepest ends as it’s swamped). Second is the bottom of the web. The web is 1/4”. Below that is the ramrod channel which is 3/8’s. My first plan is to inlet the barrel into the centerline and try to get the ends to match that top line. There is a lot of extra wood but it’s my first one and I already sorta mis-measured #1 so I’d like some other sets of eyes. You can see the outline of the approximate position of the lock. It’s huge. Anyway, then I’m going to plane the bottom down and then inlet the ramrod channel to the approximate bottom of the web. Ramrod entry is approx 13” from the trigger.
This is all stuff that I’ve sort of coalesced from all the “starter books” but doing it… I feel a little unsure. Anyway, appreciate any pointers.
