These are fantastic to say the least! Have you done any lever action repeaters, Winchesters/Marlins?
No, but I can't explain why, should be doable, most of the "most wanted guns" where being made before electric power was available, the Henry would be a good place to start. A few good books would help, save a lot of tears. The single shot people are blessed with De Hass's books, I have a few on 1885s by Campbell that really helped. There was a guy in Texas, Bud I think, from Tools International, that had a lot of prints, and some butt plate and lever castings that came in handy, any thing else was so so. I have done a few modern pieces, but my heart wasn't in it. Bill T
I take it you made these. Very nice.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
Yes, and these were done while licensed and have all the taxes paid and registered, still not done with the final design so I did not post the internals, thanks, Bill T.
