Colonial Rifle Kit Assembly Part 3
« on: July 26, 2018, 09:43:40 PM »
Another in the series of assembling our Colonial rifle kit: 



 In this episode I demonstrate and discuss installation of the trigger, triggerguard, ramrod pipes and ramrod.  As always, I welcome any questions or comments!

All the best,
Jim

These videos are terrible!  Jim takes 4 minutes of camera time to accomplish what took me an entire afternoon!  (Ramrod).  They gotta be faked!   ;D ;D

Just kidding, keep it coming.  But my shop teacher would have a heart attack at your filing technique.

Your videos have definitely got me raring to go.  Just waiting on the kit.

I've been wondering if my rudimentary skills would be enough to take on a project like one of these kits.  The videos put that question to rest and I hope to pick on up at the CLA show or order one soon :)

 Me too! Another month or so I believe. And it sure looks like it makes up into a great looking rifle!
