Question for Mike Brooks about the brass
« on: November 09, 2012, 02:51:09 PM »
I could have emailed Mike on this but thought others might want to know the answer too. I looked over your tutorial when you built that Carolina gun. The question is, how thick is the brass you use for the trigger guard and buttplate?

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'?

Really ? Good to know that, 1/16 I have. I thought it looked closer to 1/8. Thanks Mike.
