About ten times the fitting required on a side lock. You have to head up the reciever, the triggers, top and bottom tangs and both sideplates at the same time. Plus you need to take away just enough wood for all the parts to work freely but not so much that you weaken the stock at the same time. Childs play for some but then again bomb disarmament is also to some.
Most times, when I am finished a sidelock, I swear that that was my last one, ever.
I totally agree with you. However, there is a great sense of accomplishment every time you finally get one done.
