I find those time consuming. And getting all those arms to lay down is fun. Like nailing down an octopus.

Bummer !
Started reading this thread this morning. I thought with 15 pages the new entries would be range report of a finished gun .
I have enjoyed the read with all your pictures. Nice piece of wood also. What thickness was the brass for your thimbles ? It didn’t look like enough material to later file on.

Would you engrave before or after the star is installed?

I finished inletting the hunters star made out of .040 sheet brass. This is based on the original star on the Albrecht rifle. The fit came out very nice with no gaps. My teacher Jeff Talbert gave me a great tip,. He told me to inlet the top point last. This really helped avoid any gaps on those top points that would show the most.
