Default RE: WTB: Action & Barrel

Just alittle word of caution or advice...Unless you have a reasonable amount or access to stockmaker's tools, i.e. inletting screws, bottoming files, barrel channel rasps or cutters, etc., and a knowledge of how to properly fit a barreled action to a piece of wood, I would think twice about this. It is more involved than simply removing a slight bit of wood with some sandpaper and starting to shoot in a couple of hours.
If you are set that you really wish to do this, do yourself a favor and do some reading and research to find out more about it. There are many sources of info available. An improperly fitted barreled action can cause severe damage to the stock, and possibly injury to the shooter. I'm not trying to scare you from doing this if you wish, just want you to understand that this is not the usual weekend garage mechanic type of work.
Whatever route you choose, good luck and be safe!!
