Barrel Pin placement question
« on: December 24, 2022, 04:38:51 PM »
I'm working through a Jaeger "project" that I bought off of gunbroker about a year ago (that'll be its own thread at some point) and have a question for the group. 

I've the first barrel pin at 2 1/2" on center from the muzzle, the next at 18" and then the tang screw.  The barrel length is 27 1/2".  Should I put another lug in?

Thanks

Yes, three would be customary.
First 3” from muzzle, third midway between lock and entry pipe, (there abouts), third midway between those.
In His grip,
