My 40/50 project is coming along after a rocky start. In the beginning, groups were horrible, like 4 1/2 inches. After 200 rounds down range, I took the forend off and shot a 1 1/4 inch group.
The rifle is beautifully made, but the forend is just too tight to the action. After loosing the mortise, I put a card strip behind and in front of the screw and it is shooting better. Now I have to figure out how to make that permanent.
First picture is my first group. Second is 4 in 3/4” and so excited I pushed the outher one out to make it 1 1/4"
