Re: Winchester 21 DR in 45-70

If you have been following this project you know I ran into computer problems on the EDM wire cutter at a critical time. To make a long story short I lost 6 months of time with no machine. It is now working and I am again making progress. I will post some pictures in a couple of weeks. I am reprogramming the receiver code to allow about 3/8 of an inch of steel behind the firing pin hole to increase the strength of this inherently weak area. Not a problem for shotguns but it is for DRs. Don't give up on me. I will finish this even if I am now counting it in years!!!! I just didn't want to bore you when I didn't have good progress.

Side note: I see my friend Nikitas has posted some of his great work on his double. For those who don't know him, he is one of the most informed gun writers you will ever read and now a designer as well.--------Bill
