"Heck yeah. be a Boss, make a triggerset!"

Did anyone other than me get great enjoyment from Wade's comment above.  :-)   You made my day sir. 

I agree, you have to be a boss man to step up and build those from scratch. 

God Bless,   Marc

Runar's work is always exceptional, and yet you can see he does not have a fortune spent in a whole bunch of expensive, and unnecessary tooling.
A true craftsman from yesterday, and yet making guns that we all enjoy with total awe.
My most sincere compliments to you Runar!

Hi all Blackpowderfriends! And thank you folks for nice comments :)
The 2 parts of the trigger gard is rivet and solder together and it is not so bad I think

Runar,
Nice work.
The grip rail can be made from one piece of round stock and the bow with front extension from another piece.

Enjoy the progress.

Awesome work.  You inspired me - I'm in the process of building my own set triggers for my current project.  Don't think my hands would hold up to all the other fabricating you're doing.  Bravo.
