my first build

[Phill]

Just finished my first build over the Christmas holidays, started this a couple years ago and finally finished it.
Pecatonica left hand Virginia rifle 38" 50cal swamped barrel with iron furniture.
I think it turned out pretty good...what do you think?

Is that top pic how the stock looked right out of the box? Nice machining on the wood...

thanks for all the compliments

Very nice! Did you need to do any machining work or all hand work on the metal and barrel? I like their kits but am a bit intimidated using their kit on a first build. Also looks like the stock was inlet more than I would expect out of the box. Tell us your thoughts on the kit

 

[Phill]

All work done by hand
The swamped barrel, ram rod channel and lock were rough inletted, I also had them cut the dovetails for the sights and install the underlugs on the barrel, it was a bit intimidating but there are no other options for a lefty...take your time and go slow is my best advice
The Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply kit was awesome Doug and the guys there are easy to work with.

I hate to mention this at this point, but you put the lock on the wrong side...
