It's the jig to finish drill the ramrod channel.
Will start inletting the barrel on Friday.
Tomorrow is reserved for stuffing my gut.

This is sage advice right here^ Back in 2014 I started building my first and only flintlock rifle, I had a lot of help from my good freind and mentor, he gave me the same advice as Rich has given you. I got all the books I could, bought videos and watched them all. Although I’m still not up to par as far as I’m concerned. I’m not afraid to tackle a rifle build by myself.Trying to learn a craft that originally took an apprenticeship of at least 5 years by asking questions online is an interesting and common approach nowadays. Buy books. Read articles and collect them in notebooks. Watch other craftspeople work. Attend a 3 or 5 day class. Try different tools and approaches. Practice until you develop systems that work for you. None of these proven approaches are free or fast.
Don’t be presumptuous and think there’s nothing to it and buying a few suggested tools and watching a few YouTube videos will ensure success.
Nobody is responsible for your development as a craftsperson but you.
Don’t ask me how I learned that!One of those 10,000 wood chips came in handy the other day.
