    Woodsrunner almost complete and a question

    Four coats of Permalyn sealer are plenty. I usually do 4 or 5 coats depending on the amount of gloss I want. If you get it too glossy, you can rub it back with rottenstone to get more of a satin finish.

    Another Permalyn Question

    After doing a couple slop it on and wipe it off sealing coats, I put a few drops on the stock and rub it in by hand. I'll do this 2 or 3 times till I get the sheen I want. I let it dry a day between coats. For a softer sheen, you can rub it down with rottenstone.

    Opinions on Nock flintlock lock

    These are really good locks. I have one on my personal rifle that I use in our shooting matches. It is fast and easy on flints. Other shooters have commented on fast it is. I built a rifle for a friend using this lock and he absolutely loves it. As a matter of fact, I am going to build him...

    It's not a Rice lock. Liston stamps his with an "R" inside of a triangle. LC's lock has not made it to market yet.

    swamped barrel inlet

    I lay the barrel on top of the blank and then rasp the blank to follow the contour of the barrel. Mule, I got theses rails from a local steelyard. I have seen them at hardware stores though.

    swamped barrel inlet

    If you are comfortable using a router, here's how one way to do it. I posted this awhile back. I use a trim router. Here's my router set-up for doing swamped barrels. Lay the barrel on top of the blank and clamp 3/8" rails to it. Screw the rails to the blank. Use a 1/2" V-shaped bit with a 1/2"...
