I recently retired from farming. Now I should have some time to jump in and get started building one. I have the tools to do it but haven't tried a firearm yet. Any tips or suggestions.
I would like to forge the trigger and any other fittings. I could even turn the nipples on my lathe.
I'd like to keep it simple to start. Maybe a small pistol and work my way up.
Thanks in advance.
I Have plenty of steel. About 10,000 lbs. from 1040 to 1095, W2, A2, M2, D2, and some 1095 cable. Plenty of wood too.
Wonder what a cable Damascus barrel would look like with a walnut or cherry handle?
Any direction is appreciated.
