Ever have problems keeping your lock plate level when laying it on the stock and trying to figure out where line things up? Try cutting a piece of wood the thickness of the bolster and in the shape of the lock panel. Sure does help.
I always try to get the same screw back in the same hole when working on a rifle. This is a crude but effective way of keeping up with everything.
The below jig / bending bars really helps out when bending trigger plates or barrel tangs. Sometimes finesse is needed rather that brute force.
This little device comes in very handy. I got the idea from one Don Getz uses. Thanks to Don for sharing.
This is what I use to decorate the muzzles.
