The router bit finally showed up so I was able to get some more accomplished on it last night.
Cutting the barrel channel and action inlet was easy. I used my router table and fence in order to accomplish this.

Next was inletting for the trigger. This for me with the way I did it was the worst part of the whole project thus far. This is because it’s not square. Using some forstner bits, dremel with sanding drum, and chisels I got it accomplished. Now that I have this one done I have figured out a better way to do it I believe. We will see with the next one.

I was able to close the bolt enough to ensure that the trigger moves as it’s supposed too and does not hang up.
In case anyone is wondering I left the hunk of wood on the in front of the trigger on so I would have a more stable work piece. It should be cut off tonight.
