What does "zero wood removal" actually mean?
It means the barrel, lock, and hardware are inletted so precisely that everything seats where it should, right out of the box. With most kits, a builder has to remove wood to fit oversized parts, and that is where the historical architecture gets lost and mistakes happen. We machine the inletting to match the parts, so the correct lines of the rifle are already there. Your job is to assemble, shape the outside to taste, and finish.
