Well that took a while...
« on: January 12, 2018, 11:56:53 PM »
Well that took a while, but I'm very pleased how the butt cap and trigger guard went in.  Probably spent about 5-6 hours just on the buttcap. This is my first pistol build. Not the biggest fan of the funky wood grain where the trigger guard has to go. There was more chisel scraping than cutting really. Only thimbles and nosecap left, then that wood is going to lose some weight. I'll post pics when it's finished.

Looks like a good start.  I look forward to seeing the finished pistol.  God Bless,   Marc
