Built an English half-stock
« on: September 28, 2019, 06:57:03 PM »
Finally finished this thing up after fixing a bit of a disaster. I left too much wood behind the lock fence, and popped a chunk out of the lock panel when I removed the lock. Fixed it, and refinished it, and learned a good lesson.  It's a 20 ga with a 30" barrel. I'm pretty pleased with it overall.

Really nice and clean looking.  I like your lock panels and the wrist area.

Looks just fine, Justin, Did you get the ignition trouble sorted out?
Appears to spark just fine.

Thanks guys. Yeah Daryl. I drilled the vent out to 1/16". It must've been 3/64" before.
No more flashes in the pan.
