I'm not sure on your progression of building. You stated that you had a Lollypop tang to inlet.....doesn't that normally
fall right in with fitting the barrel in the stock, and is normally the first thing we do. This should be followed with the
lock inlet, then the trigger inlet. You need that in order to determine length of pull. I'm not a Tennessee rifle builder,
but that buttplate doesn't look good to me. It may be proper for the gun you are building, I just don't like it.....looks like
it would slip off your shoulder. Don't take these comments personally, I am just playing the part of the devils advocate,
just pointing out things that don't look right to me.............Don
