40 Caliber York Completed

[Buckskinn]

I guess i need a new distraction from real life... This one is done! I hummed an hawed about putting some carvings around the tang and butt,,, decided I could not do this piece of wood justice and probably would have regretted it. I miss working on it already!

Nicely done

 

[Buckskinn]

Thanks all! my strategy is splurging on a nice piece of wood as it covers my lack of experience in this craftsmanship niche.

It came out beautiful.

Hi,
You choose for a single trigger, do you see no advantage in double set triggers?

Build a .40 caliber belt pistol!

But you made it what it is!

I'd like to build a pistol!

I have a double set trigger on the 54 cal I build last year, but the trigger came out really nice on this 40 and I think i prefer it. It is almost as smooth and light as the Timney's i have on my unspeakable rifles. I'm sure it's under 3# with very little creep and it does not go off unless intended...

I have a tower boarding pistol kit I'm going to rebuild soon. I got it at a gun show already built for $40 but it was like whoever built it didn't want to do anything extra to it. It has so much potential, it just needs to be finessed into something nice!

 

[Col. Batguano]

Could we get a breakdown of the parts?

 

[Buckskinn]

It was a Jim Chambers Early York kit, with wood upgrade. I just wish I could find some 40 cal balls around.... I'm having to order them from Midway USA and it's going to be another week or so.

I passed on a .40 cal flinter just because of that. I really wanted a gun I could get round balls for at Cabela's.

That my friend is a beauty. Well done. I like your style.

Just wish I could get off the fence and order my first real builders kit. I think I would have a blast doing one.

That is inspiring ... thanks for sharing her with us.
