[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1227004, member: 24284"] I started gunsmithing school in '91 and graduated in '93. We were taught then to make stocks by hand from a blank. If you can learn to do it that way, a good pre-inlet is a breeze. I had 16 yrs. experience as a 'job shop' machinst before I enrolled. The machining part came easy. Being mechanically inclined made design, Function, and Repair easy. making that first stock by hand, from a blank, made me realise nothing is/was out of the question. All told, I made 6 stocks while in school. I still make about one per yr, now. I got 'handed' a lot of work that came in "off the street". It was one of those jobs where I re-soldered the bottom and then the top ribs on a 20g N.I.D. Learning metal finishing (like would be acceptable to any ACGG menmber) taught me more about the details. Details that can be applied to most any task. I guess you didn't read the last sentence of post #4. [/QUOTE]
