[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3331631, member: 10465"] Today, I completely dry assembled the rifle, (minus the sights, tenons and tenon pins). Everything fits! I still have to finish fitting the fore end to the brass toe cap and install the barrel tenons and sights. Then I have to finish the brass end caps on the ramrod and the ram rod itself. The sights and tenons are going to have to be filed/fitted to the barrel. Ya’ll can imagine how that goes. Lightly file and then drag across some Emory paper then check. File, drag, check, file, drag, check...and repeat until it fits! Then it’s going to be a final inspection and touch up on any brass or fittings before I go to work with the finish on the barrel and the stain of the stock. I think I’ll have this thing done in about 1-3 more weeks, allowing time to do the work on the barrel and several coats of stain/finish on the wood. This is a fun project. Should have got this kit earlier in the winter for those long cold days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
