Building a Fusil-de-Chasse
« on: August 21, 2018, 07:13:12 PM »
I just posted Part 8 of the series that I have been doing of building a fusil-de-chasse. In this one I inlet the main spring and drill the holes for the lock bolts through the stock and lock plate. I hope that you enjoy it. All comments are welcome.
