My parts showed up with the pre carved stock yesterday. Im hoping to start on it this week. I received the wrong breech plug with my kit so I have to wait on the correct 5/8-18 plug to breech the barrel.
Here is what I have to start with.

Tonight I plan to get the barrel pinned and finish inletting the lock. If time allows I may work on getting the triggers installed and working.

That's pretty. I'd love to build a kit some day, but I'm afraid I'd end up screwing it up.
Just go for it, you never know until you try. I never rhought I could do it either and now I am totally addicted to working on these guns.
IF you screw something up thats how you learn. It may cost a little more for a new stock but after you build one you will be proud as can be to hold and shoot something you built with your own hands.

Nice job. That ought to have those squirrels scared and running.
Thank you, I plan on terrorizing the gray squirrel population around here with it for sure

Dang, less than 2 weeks? I'da still been starin at it...
I can't seem to put one down once I start working on it. I spent every waking hour I wasn't working on it thinking about working on it. The pre carved stock cut a lot of time off this one too.

I would be very surprised if you are not extremely satisfied with your GM barrel.
I got GM .45 IBS barrel several years ago,and it is the best shooter out of all the
rifles I have. Had to wait for a production run to get my barrel,so it took eight months to get it. Best of luck with yours. :shake [/color]

I couldn't be happier with my rifle now. I didn't even have to adjust elevation. The first shot is the left in the target. I adjusted the front sight a little and put 5 more shots in the target. Range was 35 yards and I had a makeshift rest so I figure that wasn't too bad. As soon as it warms up I will finish fine tuning it.[attachment=0:17nr8uj8][/attachment]0311151634a-1-1.jpg[/attachment:17nr8uj8]

Who made the first barrel that was so poorly done?
