    barrel wedge inletting

    I cheat as well. I install my lugs, coat them with dykem hi-spot blue and set the barrel in place, measure the thickness of the wood, setup in the mill, then cut out slots with a 1/8" endmill leaving about .015" wood left. Then file down my lugs a few thousanths smaller than the slot depth.
