Runar- was this common, a horn nose-cap being just a shell?
Well done, btw.

Can't speak for Runar, but most were glued in place, Justin.

Runar,
That ramrod pipe is as cute as a button!

Lovely work.

I THINK I have made 4 pistols in my career and I think,as do others that
even full size target pistols are a lot harder than rifles.This little gun of yours
shows a lot of skill and dedication,especially that lock which I KNOW was NOT
easy to make.
Thanks for the tutorial and pictures of a job well done.

Runar,

As always exquisite craftsmanship. That checkering makes my head hurt just trying to make all the complex curves line up and look proper.

Thanks for sharing,
Mike

Runar:  you have to be very pleased with how this little pistol has turned out.  What will seal the deal is adding the engraving that is on the original.
