This is my first gun building project, so I will be going slowly. I decided to go with the Tenn. classic number 4 maple stock from Pecatonica. I had to order the stock because I decided to go with a Rice .50 cal., B profile swamped barrel.
They cut the barrel channel to my swamped barrel but I had to wait for about 1.5 months. I decided not to have the lock, trigger, or butplate pre-inletted as this will give me more freedom in locating the parts around and also learn how to inlet them.
I am nervous with the whole project, but also excited. I am not sure how many hours it will take me to complete it. I will definately take my time and ask a lot of questions. I have already purchased a number of DVDs and books and have been watching them and reading them for some time now.
