Wonderful!
For the Barrel Tang bolt into the Trigger Plate, do I see that you drill the bolt hole from both bottom up and top down to meet in the middle?

Your pistol is coming along great. Should be a hoot to shoot!

Not sure why, but I like those back action locks. They are not pretty, but they check boxes off in my fool head for some reason... Figures, since I like miquelet locks too. Maybe I am a sucker for the ugly duck. Following this build!

You make it look so simple. You are a very skilled artisan/artist!!

I have been following this since you started it Runastav. I like the way you proceed with a project. I always learn something.
As to the the back action lock, Form Follows Function.

Runar: I made a swivel rod for my Hawken pistol. The bulbous end doubles as a jag for cleaning the barrel. Just pull the rod out and flip it around so the big end goes down the barrel. It works great.

Thank you guys! Taylor please lets see photos
