I have enough space on my OneDrive to host for a little while. Sit tight and I'll send out links via group PM.

I like how your thinking, @pontiac428 , but slow your horse for a just a second. Never really built a firearm. Been happy to shoot tin cans with a .22. So, I'm thinking of a simple project. Clunky, but will throw a little piece of lead a few yards down range. And then expand out from there.

Go get a copy of the single shot rifle action book, think its by Frank Dehaas. If you want a challenge, and get something useful out of it thats where to start. Rolling blocks, falling blocks...its all in there with drawings and information.

Here is a great build. She is a great gunsmith! I e been tempted but it’s a lot of little work. I recently went through acouple revolvers that were handed down to me. One of the prized ones is a army issued s&w 1917 45acp. The side plate fitment is seamless. I am amazed at the fitment and how it was done so long ago??

She is every Gunsmith's "Dream Wife"
