Precarves, just a heads up, now for the fix
JW_Halverson:
Who made the pre-carve?
Looks like you can make a tolerable glass of lemonade from this lemon.
Eric Krewson:
Rather than bash them openly I sent you a PM.
Mike Yancey:
Great fix!
Eric Krewson:
I have the lock plate mostly down;
I also have the pan close to where it needs to be, I may move the barrel back a little more.
The lock internals are going to be a challenge, I may try to inlet for them with the lock assembled, it won't be a pretty job with everything already cut for the former lock position.
dinorocks:
Nice save Eric! Over the past few years I have been shooting a couple production flintlocks and your post has helped me to continue on the direction of my own build. Both flintlocks I have don't fit me as well as a friends custom gun (he has a similar physical build as me)...hopefully my first build happens sooner than later although I think I have quite a bit more to learn. I did, however, receive my second lock dismantling lesson...all I need now is a mainspring vise and I'll be ready for action! (Please let me know if anyone has an extra they would consider parting with :-)
