Runar- was this common, a horn nose-cap being just a shell?
Well done, btw.

What did you use to attach the horn nose cap?

Can't speak for Runar, but most were glued in place, Justin.

Runar,
That ramrod pipe is as cute as a button!

Lovely work.

I THINK I have made 4 pistols in my career and I think,as do others that
even full size target pistols are a lot harder than rifles.This little gun of yours
shows a lot of skill and dedication,especially that lock which I KNOW was NOT
easy to make.
Thanks for the tutorial and pictures of a job well done.

Runar,

As always exquisite craftsmanship. That checkering makes my head hurt just trying to make all the complex curves line up and look proper.

Thanks for sharing,
Mike

Justin Urbantas · « **Reply #65 on:** April 20, 2019, 06:51:27 PM »

Very nice. What checkering tool did you use?

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #66 on:** April 20, 2019, 06:56:40 PM »

Runar: you have to be very pleased with how this little pistol has turned out. What will seal the deal is adding the engraving that is on the original.

runastav · « **Reply #67 on:** April 21, 2019, 11:48:45 AM »

Hi Guys and thank you! Justin Urbantas, its American made and 18 LPI have it for years dont now brand!
