Guys for the kind comments! Truly been a labor of love, getting so close now, get more anxious. It was really neat though to have the gun actually fire a cartridge..........primered only, at this point. Ron, I guessed the lug was peened or riveted from pics, but decided silver soldering was easier. They must have had a special jig to do that originally. Though, it seems that would have been problematic over time, repeatedly prying and pivoting the covers for cleaning. Wouldn't it be great to be able to see the actual tooling used!
Another question though. I notice the pin at the bottom rear of the frame. I'm guessing this may be what held the 'buffer spring' in place? |
