Got some more done today. I was gonna' drill & tap for the scope mounts today but I realized after laying everything out that I don't have the proper 6-48 taps. What I thought was the right size turned out to be 6-40. I did layout the mounting hole position for the scope mounts and used a center drill to just dimple the location of the four holes. Once the taps arrive I'll drill and tap, mount the scope and adjust the cheek rest accordingly.
So, I installed a flash guard to the forearm recess and opened it up a little. Did some work on the ramrod channel so that the ramrod will fit neatly into its groove. Sanded & shaped the forend. From there it's pretty much finish work.
I took some pics of the rifle all assembled and I'm posting them up cuz' she sure looks purdy!
Assembled rifle. Almost there!:
