I made it home this weekend and decided to do a little inventory on an upcoming project that I've been slowly gathering parts for in the last few years. The plan is to build a Henry Lehman style trade rifle. I have a .54 cal rice barrel, 42" long and 1" across the flats. Jim chambers double set trigger, I don't remember who made the lock but it's not a cheap jukar, a few miscellaneous other parts and a really nice curly maple stock blank. I have a few more things to acquire but I'm getting there. A few issues that I noticed ...the lock does not have a fly. That's a bit of a problem with the double set trigger that i have. The stock has a worm hole right where the first barrel tenon will need to be. I can fill it fine, but since the trade rifles were mostly unadorned if I stick to the authentic look there won't be any escutcheon's to cover the repair. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. The last issue is that the stock was intended for a lefty. I'm reasonably sure that there is still enough material for a right handed cheek piece, but it's gonna be tight. Hopefully I will get a few more items for the build in the next month or two, but this is the starting point. Josh
