Hi all!
Normaly I dont make miniature guns, but when a gun buddy who do stop making I get a `KIT`that he make. Its ca 60 prosent from original, L-27,5" Barrel 18-1/4" ca 9mm cal smoothbore. Maby I can use it to drill my 5 grand children age from 3 mnds to 10 years ;)hehe! On photo is my last scrath build a M/ 1843 naval pistol for compare!

Keep us posted on its progress. The only miniatures that I had attempted to make were some small bowie style knives and that was a LONG time ago when my eyesight was MUCH better. I'll stick to the full-size stuff now a days.

Those tiny locks are a real pain and I made two of them years ago.They were marked Fenton and the internal parts were not usable.One of them ended up by being used as an item to trade for whatever.I got $250 each for them back when such a price was unheard of for a lock.

Runar, you are a magician with your files. It would take me a week or two just to make the top jaw, much less the cock for that little lock!

We sure do enjoy watching your work progress. But I am waiting to see you rifle the barrel!

Runar the creator, nice work as always. It's been fun following along. Just because I'm curious, how cold is it there where you live now? Sometimes it can be hard to get motivated to build when it gets cold.

Hi all and thank you! smylee grouch, cold yes and a ice cold wind from east(Putin) Ok, the tiny trigger spring made I use a jig for it.

Runar, it would help we onlookers if you would include a centimeter scale alongside the pictures of you wee small parts.

I hope that the Allen head screw is just temporary

Loving the progress that you are making.

Remarkable work, Runar! Is it true you hire "little people" (elfs and such) to do all that small work? Or that you have miniature hands?

Totally admire your workmanship.

runastav · « **Reply #22 on:** March 28, 2022, 05:38:50 PM »

Ha ha Craig Wilcox, no no here in Norway we have only NISSER og TROLL ;)One of my most used tool in workshop is my pick up magnet so small parts is a mess
