Be sure to watch your barrel wall thickness on your dents. Too thin is bad news. Not like you will be shooting any damascus guns any time soon, but it applies to todays barrels as well. Better steel has allowed them to make very thin barrels. You don't have much to work with. Good luck with you new projects. Have fun. I'm enjoying being part of it.

Unfortunately I had no choice but to buy new tools (with a few exceptions) which makes this expensive!
I removed very little from those barrels at this time. And I have seen some of the new barrels. It's a little scary!
BTW, you need to give a LOP and cast off for the stock. When you send me the trigger guard, make sure you send me a recoil pad as well.
