Nice work, Steve. Looking forward to the finished projects and your first shot.  :OK    :-M

Yep, that's a gouge. I bought a set of Flex Tool gouges when I started making guns, later I saw the advice on the gun building boards to only buy what you need instead of a set and the best quality you can afford. My set is a good one but I don't use two thirds of them, same with my chisels, I bought a set and only use the 1/8" and the 1/4", once in awhile I will use the 3/8" one

mullet:
Looking good, Steve. keep the pictures coming. And, it's still hunting season till Feb. 15 up here, then small game season. Be fun with the smooth bores.

It would be, hmm, I’ll call.

Parnell:
Would like to talk the trigger installation up.  So am I correct in understanding that this is a Sett Trigger, Double Lever?  I’m reading about proper installation in ‘The Art of Building The Pennsylvania Longrifle’.  Going to bevel the edges of the trigger plate and round them accordingly.

My concern is better understanding placement with respect to the two levers and the sear.  Also, this small adjustment screw which controls the rear sett trigger travel.’

My current understanding is 5/8” between pivot pin and sear. 

Thoughts?  Tips?
