It is possible, the student wants to create a tool for his use later in a career of stockmaking. It is my opinion that by creating this tool he will come to a better understanding of just why and how stock design may be adapted to individuals. There is nothing more instructive than figuring out why and how to do something. Yes, the provided information shows how to do it and someone already figured out the hard part. The question as I understand it is: How many different ways are there to make a successful try gun for the stockmaker to use? The members of this board have graciously provided more than one way to "skin the cat".
Buying a ready to use product can be useful...IF you already own a gun that the stock may be attached to....AND you have the money to do so. Most of the students that I have met in Mark II's charge are not financially set enough to purchase such a tool ready made. Therefore "sweat equity" is the best they can afford.
