If you were to compress the time to actual work time, how long did it take you do complete the work~?

I didn't clock my time but around 20 to 25 hours.  Some of it was new to me but by reading and learning from folks on this site, I figured out how to make it work. I am much faster at inletting stocks than I was then. Made a fixture for boring my barrel to install a liner. Poor boys have poor boy ways. Got better on the next rifle.

Good looking rifles!  Do you have pictures of that boring jig?

Have seen a lot of stock repairs but your picture of the as is was a doozie. Check out that "cross bolt"...

Nice metal work on the Low Wall! Is that acid etch engraving on the rolling block! Your work?
Cheers Richard

The rolling block is engraved, not etched. Otto Carter, of Abilene Tx is the engraver. Check out his website. He is very talented.
