three but proud of them
Y'know, if S&W or Colt does that, the gun immediately becomes a priceless one-off collectible. I don't think you are marketing yourself to your full potential.I’ve built 7 scratch guns and about 4or 5 of those poorly machine inletted “kit” guns…sometimes I re-examine my first scratch build, and swear I’m gonna redo it right on a gorgeous unique curly maple stock I bought dirt cheap…but my first gun is a symphony of mistakes and “don’ts” that has had great influence on every gun that followed it…it’s pretty pathetic, overweight, chunky but it does shoot well.
You guys wouldn't believe how hard that wood was.
Now where do we go from here, ma'am?
I'd love to see a build thread on this project.I'm currently building my first build from a blank based on an Albrecht.
Well here ya go. I hope you enjoy it and pick up a few tips.I'd love to see a build thread on this project.
It was your PA Fowler thread that got me to go that route, and after I finish that and a Chambers Early York kit for my dad, I'd like to jump into a scratch build as well.
Definition of the word "Build""Is assembling someone else kit building a gun?
Is copying an original building a gun or just reproducing another's?
I'm just a lowly gunstocker
Can't make any money making all the parts yourself.Definition of the word "Build""
"construct (something) by putting parts or material together"
So you didn't mine the iron, forge the barrels and locks for those 400 guns you assembled?
I'd bet they had a similar line of thinking back in the golden era too.Can't make any money making all the parts yourself.
