Commodore Swab Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 I made this one a while back and took pictures of the build pictures . . . First was deciding what to build, I found this original lock that needed minor repair and being a Spanish lock the build of the gun followed. The next was to come up with a stock so a sketch on acad printed up to scale on multiple pages Now knowing size I could begin on the barrel starting with a piece of solid stock. Checking the barrel with the lock the next is to cut out the stock. Power tools can hog out a good portion but once you get close it needs to be done by hand. Then there is the hardware, typical I work with castings from the rifle shoppe. Although I often will make from scratch as well. Once you have all the parts it's just the hours spent to get them all to fit right. . . All assembled and given a patina to match the original lock
Stynky Tudor Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Hey Swab, does the barrel have a breach plug or is it just solid construction on the back end?
Commodore Swab Posted April 14, 2023 Author Posted April 14, 2023 Solid, built like a cannon. I welded a tang to the end
