My Becker Fox project involved #1, buying the gun, the right gun with absolutely no mechanical or excessive wear problems. #2, having the entire gun prepped, annealing, all sculpting, filing, polishing, screw making, planning. This involved many meetings and emails to plan details. #3, off to the stockmaker with a blank that you painstakingly selected and paid for. Many meetings with the stockmaker with your special needs, dimensions, and features desired. Provide the stockmaker with the trigger guard and buttplate that you want him to use. Many more meetings and emails to plan your checkering patterns and inlays. My project is at this point right now and I have no idea what further effort will be required to get the gun engraved and finished. Good luck.
