Trade Gun Project
Parnell:
Here are some updates pictures. The trigger is set and working well, it seems. Got the tang bolt drilled. Made a jig for the drill press to drill the angled bolt up through the tang. Tapping came out great and I am pleased. Just need to sand a bit of the stock blank down to bring the bolt a touch deeper into the threads. I’ll be looking to do the touch hole this weekend, we’ll see.
Sure feels good to hold the gun with the tang bolt in. It feels very solid now. Getting excited to do the finish work. I’ve been debating on whether or not to inlet the serpent lock plate a touch, I’m thinking I will.
Pictures...
Pat B:
She's coming along nicely, Steve. :OK
JW_Halverson:
You gonna have it done in time to hunt turkeys up here this spring???
:G
Parnell:
Thanks Pat, I'm really enjoying the project. I don't think I'm too far off, JW. My spring turkey season opens today and the break week is after next week...maybe I can knock it out??! Don't want to rush through the ending, though. ???
When is turkey camp, JW? You do it the same week every year?
JW_Halverson:
It will be any day you get here during season!
