I’m dipping my feet into building a rifle. Instead of a kit I have picked the parts I want “a la cart”. The rifle is flint ignition and going to be a dedicated deer hunting gun. I am going with a .50 caliber 7/8 Colrain barrel straight with a large Siler deluxe lock. I’m waiting for ToW to get a preinlet stock In their inventory. I am using all early Lancaster mounting hardware in nickel silver. Yeah I. Know. Blasphemy. Lol. But I like the look.
anyways. The triggerguard is pretty chunky out of the mold and I am slowly working it to shape by hand. I had to bend a little here and there to get the major stuff aligned and I’ve gotten all the rough outer scale cleaned off. But. The mounting tenons are huge and thick. I don’t know how thick they should be?
thoughts?
