Bill,

Regarding the locking lug area. In Max Gera's post on building a double rifle he shows a setup where he machines the radial area in the action where the barrel locking lug fits/mates. There is also a bit of video on www.cncguns.com in "Projects" where it shows a special tool cutting the loading ramp on a Sig (???) pistol frame. I'm sure this would be interesting to you once you cut out the window in the frame for the locking underlugs.

Supposing that your'e offering a "custom" fit for your stocks it'll be interesting to see how many files that you save for stock dimensions. It is my guess that it'll be fewer than a dozen. There can only be so many combinations of Drop at Comb, Drop at Heel, Drop at Toe, Cast off, Cast On,pistol grip lengths and diameters. Length of pull/pitch should be able to be readily cut once the stock is off the duplicator. And there is always bending if you need to "tweak" a dimension.

Please note: Custom stockmakers/Gunfitters I'm not trivialising what you do. I think you do magic. I particularly marvel at the inletting, finishing and checkering that you are so good at. And I do realise that there are huge differences in gunfit between long necked, skinny 6'6" fellas to short necked 4'2" .........err busty women.

It'll be great to see you shoot and regulate your own creations Bill.

It's great to be that "fly on the wall" when you get to watch something like this unfold.....so it must be "giddy stuff" to actuall be a part of making it happen.
