      try adjusting the pixels on the camera
  by lowering the pixle resolution you will be able to post more pictures.

That will look good. A little simple molding work (which is what the lines will be) dresses up that area very well.

Lookin' good Tim. I can tell  by the questions that you've been asking that your rifle will turn out very nicely. It's obvious that you're thinking this through and your finished product will reflect this fact. Keep up the good work.

Looking good Tim, it is coming along nicely.

I'm assuming the lines that i cut in should be as deep as they are wide? What I was thinking about using since the area is flat is a simple hacksaw blade about .060 wide and made the cuts the same depth ? 

One last thing about the thimbles would it look semi correct or ok to have an unskirted entry thimble? I have three options , I ordered too big a skirted one I need 5/16 I got a 3/8  I can sleeve it and put it in , go unskirted or none at all? Any advice. Really don't want to place an order for a 3 buck part and the shipping will be more than double that

.  Is this possible to do on a I phone ? It's all I have at the moment ?

You can solder a "skirt" on the entry pipe if you have an "unskirted" one of the appropriate size. Here's one I did. Unfortunately it was not for the reason you need one

I use my iphone for pics all the time, just download them on your pc, crop an resize them then post them on photobucket an then you can post them on here. Might be an easier way but this is how I do it.

[Razor62]

Get the Photobucket app for your phone (free) and you can download directly to Photobucket and save yourself the step of downloading to your computer first.

very nice ! lookin forward to seeing it finished !

Give me a good close-up picture of your 5/16" pipes, Tim, else give me the name of the vendor you ordered them from and a part number. I have a number of 5/16" ramrod pipes, including several entries, and if one matches your forward pipes I'll send it to you. Won't run you the full cost of a new pipe and three times that for shipping, either.

I place orders with several vendors on a regular basis, so breaking up a set of pipes is no big deal -- next order I'll just add on the missing part.

    That is a beautiful stock,  looking forward to when the rifle is finished

Great looking project Tim, love it! 

[Hanshi]

That's going to be a good looking gun.  Keep the pics coming.

Thanks all for the complements  it's ac tually turning out well suprisingly especially since I'm flying semi blind doing .it .  As long as I don't screw things up with the finial bit of wood shaping and smoothing I'm home free. Got all the thimbles pinned last night so one more thing done.
