Flintlock rifle
« on: April 28, 2019, 05:06:23 PM »
Hi,

I started to make a swivel pistol, half scale.
I think that making a pistol takes the same time as making a rifle.
It is good to make something else because now I learn a lot.
I used silver for the front of the barrels.

I changed my opti visor. It gives me more space for my eyes and my work.




Little engraving.

Hello,

I am very busy with repairing my house, so I am very slow finishing the Flintlock pistol.
But I had some spare time, so here some pictures of where I am right now.
The hammer top jaw is below, that was new for me.
When the pistol is finished I will sent new pictures.

That is real fine craftsmanship. The only thing that bothers me is the frizzen springs could be a little prettier.  The work is great.

Adrie,
That’s beautiful, great work! 
I can’t wait to see it it finished!

I love the detail work on the lock especially.

Looking forward to your visit in September!

Adrie,

You have done it again.  Looking forward to our visit in Sept with Norm.  Jon Rider,   Kingsbury Arms. will be here also.  I think you are going to give all of us a lesson in gun building.

David,

We are very glad Norm will help us in the U.S., otherwise it would be possible we got lost!
Norm, Gonny and I are looking forward to see you and Jon.
