Ranger44, thanks for the pointer on the balance.
Mark Penrod has the barreled action for a bluing touch up.
I will take a look at where it balances when I get it back, and assembled.
Sitka, are you using a press, or drilling free handed?
I had not thought about using bits that large. I do have wood auger bits, but would have to drill with a standard hand drill.. Also need to allow enough wood for the butt pads to be screwedback on to.
