John,
Right now I am drawing it in 2-D. I would love to do it as a solid model but my computer is just not powerful enough to support the model. I taught AutoCad at Denver Technical College for seven years. I have a copy of SolidWorks that they say is easier to do model in but I have not gotten into that program. If I was to do it as a solid model I am not sure how to handle the riflings and threads. I do have a loading tool and an artillery cleaning rod drawn as solid model. Did start a firing pin in 3-D but never got to far on it. The barrel drawing may take awhile as I head back to Trinidad, Colorado Sunday to start my second year of gunsmithing courses. I will try to send you a privete message with tool and rod drawinds attached.
