Runestav...that looks much better. If I may add, I would like to see a little more wood come off the bottom of the forearm too. You don't need more than 3/32" of wood below the rod hole, so if you can, I'd like to see you reduce that wood. Overall, it's looking very nice.
I disagree regarding the critique on the trigger placement. Runestav is saying his trigger pull is a little over 2 pounds...how much lighter do you want a dueling pistol, or a target pistol, for that matter? And moving the trigger back would change the architecture for the worse. No...it's just fine.
Nice work Runy!

Ditto Taylor.

The trigger location is fine.
Doubly so since it has a very light trigger.

Great work!
Love the trigger guard. I like also your choice of materials to make the trigger guard & trigger plate. Great thinking & recycling of materials.
Certainly saves work using old pipe to make trigger guard bow.
Keep the great gun making comming
I can send you a rusty " Old Ford " for more parts.

Runar,
Well done in all respects. Thankyou for walking us through your build. It is always interesting to see how others approach a project and the steps to get it done.
I am certain that this will be moved over to the tutorial section of the site.
