RCA-19 questions
« on: February 09, 2011, 08:40:10 PM »
This is mainly for Rich Pierce, but all help is welcome.
In 2009 you were working on and posted pics of your rca-19 project...did you make the butt pl. & trigger guards by modifying something available, or what did you use?
Thanks!

Probably you can make something out of the "K5" sand cast brass triggerguard that several vendors carry.  Or the investment cast "double hook" triggerguard.   ;)

I made the guard from a Reeves Goehring Marshall guard and the buttplate from a Reeves fowler or trade gun buttplate that I peened out longer so I could square the toe off.

I wish.  Work and the flint bidness knocked me completely off my gunbuilding, which was about 1/yr.

O M G  ;D Maybe I can post finished pics before you do, and I haven't even started yet :D
I may have to use that lock too, unless Jim C. will make me a Dlx. Siler w/o the stirrup on the frizzen. The lock on the orig. appears to me, to be a replacement, judging by the loose & deep fit in it's mortice. But it does look correct for the period it was built in.
Looks like a fun project!
