Pistol
« on: November 05, 2011, 12:10:54 AM »
Hi. I haven't posted anything for a while so I thought I'd share some pics of a pistol I just finished up.  Rayle barrel, Chambers lock, walnut stock, 20ga. smoothbore, slight aging.











Thanks for looking.

Nice work, Nate!  Like the moldings on the forestock by the entry thimble a lot.  I also like the rest but that popped out at me as clean and effective.

Nice pistol Nate.  You did a real good job.  Looks very well proportioned and the stain is very nice.  Thanks for posting.   ;D

    Another fine job Nate. I really like the color of the barrel, was that a cold blue you used on it?  Thanks for the pic's.    AL

Nice clean lines.  I like the simplicity.  It flows very well.
