Looking good, runastav :-)
Just an ordinary HSS drill bit or do you reshape the tip for using it as a router?
Wish I had half your skill and eagerness!

Well played, runastav. I see you also have made the breechplug with the frequently found 'knast'(lug). Thumbs up :-)

Very efficient method of making the trigger plate, Runar!  I may try that on my next one.

Your gun is shaping up nicely Runastav, thank you for posting pictures of your progress. Nicely flowing curve on your cheek piece and a tight inlay on that butt plate.
