That should keep you off the streets for a while.

Lovely looking firearm, Runar! I do like the looks of the lock on the one pictured on the Norwegian page.

I need to borrow your router, bit, and setup for a rifle or two I have in progress!

Your build along photos are always so enjoyable. :-) Thank you for sharing these with us.

What is the box along the barrel? Bayonet mount?

I'm betting it's a bayonet attachment point??

That's really an interesting gun. Thanks for the photos. I always enjoy learning how other people inlet barrels. I've always used a milling machine, but no longer have access to one.

Craig Wilcox · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2020, 08:40:21 PM »

Well, Not English, now you are going to have to use hammer and chisel. I'm trying to do that now, on a super-hard gnarly piece of black walnut. Wearing me down!

I am hoping that Runar comes to visit me, toting his router and jig.

BTW - I hang out with a lot of Amish, and constantly have to say "Not English! American!" Anyone not of the faith is English to them.

Hi all! and thank you guys! The rear pipe needs a lot work must have ramrod bracke spring riveted and the tale must be formed in a wood die.

Runar, you are making me wish I could still travel - you have a great ability to make beautiful things, and I try to learn from you. I would sure like to visit and learn first hand.
