Squirrel.........another helpfull hint. Something to help with that forend. Make a sanding block, about 3" x 10", wrap
sandpaper around the bottom side and run it back and forth along the forend, start with about 80 grit paper, this will
remove wood real well and eliminates a wavy look. Just from looking at your pictures, I believe your forend is still too
fat. The late Dave Dodds used to work for son John in the barrel shop, and when I was working on a gun I would take
it back to Dave and ask for comments, and they almost always were "take more wood off". As you look out along the
barrel, you should see no more than about 1/16" of wood on either side............Don
