Got the chamber reamed thanks to a good guy who loaned me his .35-40 Maynard reamer. And the brown truck dropped off my buttstock just now from CPA. It's a nice piece for the cost of $115, but now the part I dread; the fitting! Ugh. Lots of wood to come off to make it look right, and fit well.
I am going to leave the barrel off while I fit the wood. Also going to add a stud to the left side of the barrel and make a breech seater tool so I can shoot either fixed ammo, or breech seated bullets.
Going to be a lot of whittling to get tis stock fitted, and final shaped!
