Never said you need to feel sorry for the circumstances of sale and have misplaced emotion. I doubt you were the person pawning the gun so your fairy tale story of who lost money put your story in the makeup zone. I would assume the person taking it to the pawn shop and selling it, did not know...

Yes, it sounds like you got a great buy. But it took me most all my life to clearly understand that when I scored a great buy some body took a great loss. Good luck with your new to you 1860.

Sometimes a picture can be very deceiving in giving the proper alignment problem. And create its own set of problems. These pictures are a perfect example of what is not seen verses holding parts in your hand. A quick response of bend the hammer may have not been the proper solution and now...

Beautiful, another perfect job.

While living on the farm before TV was available kids had nothing better to do at night than charge themselves up and then sneak up on and touch your brother/sister's ear to make them jump. While not BP, still have a high regard for static charges.

Very nice pictures of your build and it finished up looking just fine.

To be more elegant: You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, And know when to run.

Believe this is a weak spot in the design of this model. Does not take much stress to break it. Especially when out of the stock it can get tapped and a crack start. Would let Jim sort this one out and most likely he will have the best solution for you. You do not want it happening again.

For me, Time to move on and put it behind me and out of mind. That piece of wood has another use, but that is unknown to me. Sorry

Notchy Bob - Thanks - Yes they do come with a really plain stock. Used the Minwax Stain Conditioner first which helps it from getting blotchy and let dry. Then Rust-Oleum - Traditional Cherry was used as first stain coat wiped on even and again let dry 24 hr. check to see if it might need 2nd...

I did not define the lock plate and it looks just fine to me. Also think I put that minwax wood stain conditioner on so to help it stain more even. By the way this is a very accurate pistol. you will like it. Your build is going fine.

Well, your going to be busy for a while. That's a ton of work. But you will be real pleased when finished. Good luck.

Do yourself a favor and open that hole for the but cap screw. It doesn't need to torque in so strong and split the wood. Good luck. Also the smaller wood oval should have that sharp edge removed with a little chamfer.

I can't help it, you are so funny.

This is what mine looked like at that stage. Hope it helps.

Just as a suggestion on staining. Sometimes it may be better to not mix the 2 stains wet trying to get the result. But rather stain the lighter color and let dry and then apply darker color. Showing my stock, Rust-Oleum - Traditional Cherry was used as first coat and then Minwax - Dark Walnut...

Just try putting trigger guard in correctly, back end in first.

You did try putting the back end of the trigger guard in first, didn't you?
