Since the question pops up from time to time heres a couple pics of tools I have made. Old files are something I always seem to have. After a file is slower to cut wood and brass I use them on steel. When they too worn for steel I do this.
These are my barrel inletting tools
I use scapers mostly for the final fitting.
Here are just some other files that just needed to be shaped a bit different for the job at hand.
The double handed rasp I made originally to help inlet the wall gun barrels, but I use it now for shaping up the stock. Works well on the push or the pull and does not tear up the hands, only the wood. :winking:
