I filed that trough a bit wider and more open at the touch hole, which will help. I usually make the trough twice as wide but couldn't find the special file for that process. I'll wipe the plug threads with Nikal and home it back into the bbl at its witness mark. Meanwhile the stock reshaping work is done and I didn't stain it, just started its first Tru-Oil wipe. Working on the brass now with files and abrasives.

On Sunday morning, I was walking back to my camp after attending the memorial for Matt Denison (North Star West) when I was accosted by some furry faced fellow, who asked me if I used a coffee cup for a powder measure. Wise guy. It turns out this guy was none other than Riley Snider. Who'd a guessed he would show up there. As soon as I figure out how to download the photo, I will post it somewhere here.
