Great video, Bill!  You really make the importance of prepping everything before starting the drilling or tapping.

Missed my "Saturday Morning With Bill" - this danged Agent Orange crapola sometimes precludes everything else.  So changed it to "Sunday Morning..."

On the fit of the lockplate - do you think the forward bolt will help draw the plate closer to the barrel?  It just seems to be drawn inward at the rear, tilting it back a wee bit.  Probably the forward bolt will even things out a bit.

Loving all the "intros"!

No forward lock bolt on this gun. Just the single lock bolt. But not to worry, it all turns out good. The real pain comes with making the rear sight.  I should be able to get that all worked out eventually.

Agent Orange sounds like some nasty stuff. I work with some pretty nasty chemicals also. HAZMAT suits are not very comfortable on hot days but wear it anyway.

My week is now complete, Bill!  Another great Saturday morning "cartoon" really helps out this house-bound old fogey.

I had been wondering how you were going to inlet that curved trigger plate; turned out it wasn't too difficult at all.

Coming along nicely, going to be a great Schuetzen Rifle.

That inletting that trigger plate got pretty awkward with that curve in the stock. The real fun comes when I figure out the trigger plate doesn't fit in the trigger guard. Then comes the rear sight. Yikes! This gun is going to turn into a real challenge.
