Ok, lets assume absolutely no prior gun building experience and no tools, what is going to be needed to build this kit when it finally arrives.
I know there are a few holes to be drilled and also some taps needed, what are they ? I have the taps but sharp drill bits are very rare in my shop.
Main spring compressor for the lock so you can take the lock apart ? I know you can do it with some C-clamps and some wooden wedges but I am buying the proper tool this time around.
Files, any files I own are 40+ years old, cheap when they were new and work great on butter on a hot summer day, on metal ? they don't work so well. I have seen conflicting information on the dovetails for the underlugs and sights, if I have to cut those I will need sharp files or a dovetail cutter for my mill (its a small 3-in-1 mill-lathe). But I have read the dovetails are already done.
Rasps, I don't own any but I assume I don't need any for this kit.
Chisels, what will I need to clean up any inletting if any at all or any other work. My chisels tend to be larger chisels for woodworking on 2x4's
I am thinking of going to my local woodworking store and buying a carving chisel set.
So really the only item on this list that is unique to gun building is the lock spring compressor. What else might be needed ?
