Haha. I keep getting better at fixing my mistakes. Here's what I'm working on now. Rasping wood away right now.




I'm not an expert, never even attempted to build a gun... But I think if you set that up on TOP of the counter the work will go a bit smoother.  ;D

In all seriousness, that's a fine looking rifle.

From experience this past spring, what would happen if you re-visited your rifle again with your improved skills?

I think I would pull all the metal off the stock off, and save the good parts. My inletting probably wasn't very good.

Heck Justin. You could just rework your first one. I bet there is a rifle under all that wood you left on there!  ;D
