Msm Barrel Tennon Drilling Fixture Blackpowder Muzzleloading Gunsmith Laying out the guide lines for the barrel pins. You *might* need to remove some wood, but it won't be much. 2. drill into the wood until you hit the tenon. this will leave a small reference mark on the tenon. then pull the barrel out and drill the tenon separately. if the bit breaks in the tenon while the barrel is in the wood, it will become a permanent pin. The tang bolt and first tenon attach the barrel to the stock, the rest of the tenons hold the stock to the barrel. you don't need much dovetail depth. anywhere from .025 to .04" is plenty. fold up your own tenons from .032 or .04 sheet metal. the cast tenons make you think you need to make deep and mighty dovetails. Parts that are pinned to the stock will require holes being drilled after parts are fit. the lock will need to be drilled and tapped for the lock bolt. the trigger plate will need this treatment as well, for the tang bolts. the tang is fully shaped and has holes in it. the buttplate has all holes drilled and countersunk.
