flintlock rifle finished
« on: July 03, 2019, 12:00:15 AM »
Hoi,

Today I finished my swivel Flintlock pistol.
I share some pictures with you all.
It was a very good study project.


















I saw the picture and I miss my front sights. Oeps, forgotten. Now I have still a little project for later

For your information, the pistol is half scale!

Not to worry,anything that pretty does not need sights . What ever your shooting at will be staring at a thing of beauty and forget to
run !

Impressive as usual.  You need to move to the States so you can build full size.  :-)   God Bless,  Marc

I can’t believe the level of detail in that, much less being half scale!

Fine looking half sized pistol there Adrie!  Your eyes must be better than mine working on all those miniatures.  :)

Adrie,

Once again, your work is exquisite .  I am looking forward to our visit.  I am hoping that spending a few days here with me in my shop,  some of your talent will rub off on me.

First I've seen of your work and looking forward to seeing more.  That's a great pistol.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Your work is incredible!  It's firearm jewelry, in detail.
