Some Progress on "Back At It Pistol"

 The original thread:

 Got the barrel in, two lugs the pins just touch the barrel. RR hole drilled, tapered the 5/16th rod to 1/4 (.40cal) so it would miss the main spring and slim things down. Wasn't going to use a cap but the web is almost nonexistent so I figured it would help hold things together. The thimble is one piece with a cut out, haven't decided on an entry pipe, may be just a entry plate or may not have one. Washers holding the lock nail, haven't decided on a plate or washer. The guard is a cut down Gillespie that will house set triggers. Lots of wood to come off.

It may not be possible to use a double set trigger on this project.
I've been running the cursor of this laptop and know where the sear
is on this lock but will know for sure when I see the drawing that MIGHT
get here today.

  Thanks for at least taking a look at it Bob. It should be there today I would hope.
