Hi Greg I have not been able to open the French book how much of the gun did you draw up in cad ? The usa manual looks helpful with the scale

Peter,

Message me with your email address and I'll send you the French document as a .PDF.

The only pieces for which I've done drawings are just the few I've made: the axle (done as 3 pieces), the wheels (2-piece hubs, spokes, spoke shoes, felloes, joiner plates, and the steel tires). I've spent well over a year trying to get adequate skills in the Fusion360 solid modeling CAD package. I think I will next tackle the carriage assembly, or maybe actually the barrel assembly.

So you have actual M1897 that's being reconstructed? Tell me more about your project. To what degree of authenticity must your machining conform? To what extent will it be operable?

Greg
