Hello,

I started making a John Armstrong rifle on scale.
First I changed a countersink into a cutter.
I tried it before I started and it worked.

Normal it costs me a day to get the barrel in, now I did it in 1 hour.

Here some brasswork.

The buttplate has an iron tip.

Normal I used a lengthened steeldrill for the ramrodhole, but now I tried a better one, made off a wooddrill.
That was wrong!

I started making a John Armstrong rifle on scale.

Later on I will share more pictures

Thanks for sharing. Nothing but admiration here. Did you make the barrel, too?

Very neat!
Did you make the lock?

OK - my turn to ask -- did you cast the butt plate and trigger guard?

Adrie luke · « **Reply #4 on:** May 23, 2020, 07:33:46 PM »

Mono,
Yes I do

Berkuta,
No, I used brassplate, drilled the buttplate and triggercard out and then viling, viling, viling!

Amazing work, Andre - exceptionally well done.

I love it already, my favorite maker. I don't like filing off casting gates, can't imagine that much filing.

Jef,

Yes I made the lock myself, but I made two the same locks.
One for myself and one I have given to David Price.

I Showed the lock that Adrie made for me a few days ago but I am going to show it again, and I am also going to show the miniature cross bow that he gave me last year.
David Price

First the cross bow. And then the lock.

Daryl · « **Reply #9 on:** May 24, 2020, 02:59:41 AM »

Now that is just special, but actually beyond s mere words, Andre and David. Special indeed. The crossbow is exquisite.

Daryl · « **Reply #10 on:** May 24, 2020, 03:04:43 AM »

Andrei, please advise the rifle's actual calibre.

J. Talbert · « **Reply #11 on:** May 24, 2020, 04:22:27 AM »

Adrie,

Thanks for the reply. I actually saw the posting of David’s lock and commented on it the other day, but I didn’t make the connection with you. I’ve said before, I am always especially impressed with miniatures.

Very nice work,
Jeff

Adrie luke · « **Reply #12 on:** May 24, 2020, 05:33:57 AM »

Daryl

About calibre .22

David

For the fun, here the lock bolds.

Daryl · « **Reply #13 on:** May 24, 2020, 08:45:06 PM »

Thank you Andrie.

Mony

Adrie, as always, amazed at the awesomeness of your work.

Let's see - 3 gr ffffg powder, patched #4 duck or turkey shot?

Andrie...somebody needs to do a documentary on you, if they haven't already. You have some of the most fascinating posts on the forum.
