Commodore Swab Posted April 13, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stynky Tudor Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hey Swab, does the barrel have a breach plug or is it just solid construction on the back end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Swab Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Solid, built like a cannon. I welded a tang to the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
