Thank you for your kind words gentlemen. It went well. I’m very pleased with the results on this one so far. It's always a relief when it all works out as planned.

Ronvella,
At times I’d like more tooling and machinery too, and although you say “I'd sure like to own your setup”, I think you do superb work with the gear you already have. It’s not necessarily the equipment and tools on hand that makes the difference. I think the mind set of the person doing the work plays a hugely important roll in this sort of thing. Many great things have been done by people who didn’t realize that it was impossible or who refused to accept that “it can’t be done”.

SharpsNitro,
The dimensions you asked for, in inches:
The OD of the barrels at the breech: 1.200” (Gives a wall thickness of 0.312”)
The length of the shoe-lump: 3.350”
The center-to-center of the chambers: 1.050”

450/366,
Somehow “tomorrow” seems a little too soon, don’t want to rush these things you know

. It has now been totally cleaned up, excess silver braze cleaned off and the whole assembley polished to 240 grit. The lumps have been roughed to shape and the hook measured out and marked in. To date there have been some 38 odd hours spent. Smoke, scrape, check, smoke scrape check etc takes time. Like we have discussed previously on this thread, this type of thing must be done correctly, no short cuts.

Daryl S,
I may be too pedantic with this sort of work. I will often measure too many times, and then check them again , I'll do plenty of trial set-ups, and sometimes I’ll just sit and think while I look at the job for a while, just to make sure I’m happy with everything before I cut, braze, mill or shape etc. But I can live with that. It usually pays off. Certainly has this time!

Thanks again gentlemen.

Best regards

ALEX
