What are some basic methods fer inletting a swamped barrel to a rifle?
I've heard about different methods but wonder which is the best end result to those.
You know....like making the sides fit well and the bottom flat fit well and the 45 degree flats between....well...... some say they leave a space there.
Sorta lke some originals where even with a straight barrel with no swamp the maker would have a round channel that fit the sides and the bottom well with some space left where the rounded channel just layed on the corners of the octagon barrels 45 degree flt between side flats and bottom flat.
Seems that would be a way to avoid full stocks from getting the wood stuck on the barrels and broken when the wood is removed for some reason.
