From what I can see it came pretty perfect. That looked like a lot to bend. Thumbs up to you!

Bending wax cast trigger guard question

I really like the looks of that pistol I'm thinking I'll make one when I'm done with my J.P.Beck style rifle. I don't have a pistol yet.
That pistol stock style with the curved line from the rear of the lock table to the base of the handle seems to be very modern; a current style. None of the old guns I see have anything like this. It feels good in the hand (two of my pistols have it) but originals seem to always be round or with only a small line on the base of the handle.
Anyone care to flame me on this?

Is that a kit pistol? Or a scratch build?

its a scratch build.
A cut off rifle barrel, an old Clarke rifle lock(reworked), a stock blank from TOW, and the little parts from TOW.
I'm just finishing the stock now with ferric nitrate and will post a picture once its finished.

i don't know either, the only reference I have is what I see on Mr Google so it could very well be wrong.
this image is along the lines I found.(its not my gun).
although now I have a lollypop carved at the end of the lock plate flats where it transforms to the handle.
thanks
