The issue I had was with the stock and double set triggers. The stock was the worst. Aside from the lock and the barrel channel being mostly correct, everything else was basically a stock blank with a bunch of pre drilled holes. My 4 year old grandson could have gotten the holes closer to being where they should have been and not off at weird angles. I had to plug them all and re drill them. As to the triggers. They were really rough. I had to take them apart and spent several hours with a fine diamond block smoothing all of the burrs and boogers off of everything. What I thought was going to take me 8-10 hours to build, and be shooting, I have between 30 and 40 hours in. I guess because this is an older kit and the accuracy of the machine cutting and drilling the stock was not as good as a modern CNC machine.
I never got a chance to say Thank you for all the things I learned from you here, and it must have been frustrating with all of the beginner type questions, especially when I got the old Trade Gun, so Thank you. Your knowledge gave me a whole other level of insight and confidence into the world of the Holy Black, and I will forever be grateful.
