E. Bull pistols
« on: June 12, 2020, 04:21:22 AM »
I was able to spend a couple days working the the Bull pistols this week. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on this project but it may just be a train racing towards me. Need to finish up the trigger guard on the second pistol and checker the grip. The barrels and locks still need polishing up before I can start the finishing process on the steel parts.

Brian - I always thought that the Chamber's late Ketland lock would be too big for a pistol, but those 2 pistols look perfectly proportioned.  You're doing a fantastic job!! I can't wait see them finished.

I agree. The checkering looks great!

Have one pistol just about finished. A little tweaking is all that's left. Have the other mostly polished up and waiting for my oxy tank to be returned so I can finish my trigger guard. The virus has caused my tank to be gone for over a month.
