I thought you fellows might like to see an old school version of rifle design. This one for a small Hagn action, the first I've worked on. It has an octagon to round, integral fitting barrel by Ralf Martini in 6.5x55.
I begin with a mechanical drawing of the barreled action in pencil (I use a mechanical pencil) photo copy that, trace and erase everything hidden by the stock then build the stock around that.
The pencil drawing is traced on my homemade light table refining all along in ink (Sharpie pen and Pilot P-700).
The completed drawing, still a while before you will see much in the way of actual gunmaking...
