When building my first rifle, I did discover some mistakes, after I made them. One of the biggest is inletting my trigger. The lock and trigger were already inletted, but I cleaned out the trigger area and lowered the trigger deeper into the stock.
When cleaning my rifle yesterday, I discovered that if I pushed forward on the set trigger when the rifle was cocked, the hammer would fall. No amount of adjusting would make the rifle safe and still allow everything to work properly. Using Prussian blue, I discovered that the lock and part of the set trigger were touching. I shimmed the trigger group 1/16" and the rifle worked perfectly. Moral of the Post, 1/16" can make a heck of a difference. Inlet with care. (This is for first time builders. Hope it helps avoiding my mistake)
