pecatonica half stock hawken kit

[Swamp Lizard]

If I have pecatonica do the inletting and such will it be "in the white"or will I still have to send it to a builder to be put "in the white"?

It will not be drop in for ANY of the parts. It's a long way from in the white. If you plan on having a builder complete it for you, most, maybe all, builders would prefer no inletting beyond the barrel channel and ramrod drilling.

As stated, there will be a lot of inletting and shaping of the stock still to be done. Holes will have to be drilled and tapped, rough metal castings filed and finished, dovetails cut, not even remotely close to in the white.

OP does not seem to understand what the term "in the white" means. It simply means the barrel and other iron parts have not been browned or blued. Has nothing to do with inletting. Although the comments on that part are accurate. Not a job for a beginner.

Yes and no. Kit sellers use the term "in the white" meaning a gun is fully assembled and just needs finishing. Here's how it's described on Kibler's site:
"A gun provided "in the white" will be completely assembled and functional. The wood will need sanded and finished. The metal will also benefit from some cleanup."

That is Kiblers description (NOT OTHERS) , try not confusing the new comers !

A Pecatonica kit certainly can be a job for a “beginner”. Ask me how I know

That.
Pecitonica doesn't offer kit's or service that will require only finish sanding and top coats
