Nice job especially on the trigger guard. That is tricky soldering.

Runar, Very nice rebuild. I have a question regarding the butt cap screw. I don't necessarily understand how the screw in your photo functions.  Thanks for your patience with my current and past questions. I can also sympathize with the trigger guard resoldering. I once had a Reeves Goering trigger guard that I had resoldered  3 different times while customizing it for a Christian Springs interpretation. I was advised by knowledgeable gunsmiths to just reorder another one from Reeves, but I just had too much time in customizing it, and really liked the results.

I didn't ask the original question, but I want to thank you for your drawing of how the buttcap screw is used!  Most helpful.  ;)
The pistol turned out rather nicely.
