[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1311865, member: 24284"] No pillar for the middle action screw hole. You are correct, it'll interfere with the magazine. The hole must be 90* to the top of the blank. The very first thing I do is to visit the local mill works where I have them square the top of the blank to the off cheek piece side of the blank. The blank needs to be a thick as possible after this 'truing". I like to have a blank that's a minimum of 2 1/2" thick before "truing", and NO thinner than 2 7/16 AFTER truing. When you establish the centerline on the top of the blank it needs to be off-set, so that you're leaving enough wood for the cheek piece. As you inlet, if you find you are walking off of that centerline, don't worry too much, I have a method to re-establish a NEW centerline. Are your blanks at least 2 1/2" thick? One of Jerry Fishers' line drawings would make you a good reference.
