Hi, This is my first post. I am taking the gun building course at Jacobsburg and this is the trigger guard I made. Its a 2 piece steel pinned together using copper nails.     Thanks for looking.  Joe

Welcome AT: Did you also solder the joint on the trigger guard or just use the rivits?

Looks Good.  I'm sure that will make a fine poor boy trigger guard.

I too 2nd the soft solder if not already.

Hand making parts is a great way to improve ones gun making skills..............Lynn

I didn't think of soldering it together since it seemed strong. Thanks for the suggestion.    Joe
