The barrel channel is already cut to 95% and the ramrod hole is drilled. There will be about 4 inches of drop from the top of the barrel to the top of the buttplate. The buttplate will be 4 and a half inches tall, so total drop from top of barrel to bottom of toe will be almost nine inches.

I built a few stocks from boards and man, after the barrel and ramrod hole is done you can wipe a little sweat off the brow. Shaping is so fun.

Looks like smooth sailing from there. I built a few stocks from boards and man, after the barrel and ramrod hole is done you can wipe a little sweat off the brow. Shaping is so fun. Plain maple. It'll be stained pretty dark and then have faux curl painted on. Common on many trade rifles. Its a lightly swamped barrel.
