Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

He shows a couple good shots.

Thanks. Nice gun. Looks like my trigger guard is gonna need some work. Just by looking at it the ends are not gonna line up with the pre inlet. Dont know yet, I still got to enlarge the hole that the post on the guard goes in. Is it possible to bend it if I need to?

Here's one I built a few years ago.  I asked Barbie for a .50 calibre barrel rather than the 58 or 62 it usually comes with, so I'd have a nice offhand rifle.  I got my wish...rifle weighs 10 pounds and is a formidable competitor.

Great lookin gun. Thanks for sharing. I like the way the barrel and lock are. Did you polish the lock with something? I know my lock is dull looking and I would love to get that kind of shine out of it.

Put the lock under your pillow with a quarter. The lock fairies will take care of it while you are sleeping.
 Seriously, look in tutorials for lock polishing methods.

Yeah, I wish I could get ahold of one of those .60 cal barrels. Had one on order now for 5 years.
