Just finished this pistol for a friend and it is my first attempt at engraving. Shipper's book and the various viedos sure make it look easy. HAHAHAHA! It has an L&R lock (which is another story) and a GM .50 cal barrell. I have had it to the range and it shoots sweet. http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii637/bedfordrifle/IMG_0792.jpg http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii637/bedfordrifle/IMG_0788.jpg http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii637/bedfordrifle/IMG_0783.jpg http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii637/bedfordrifle/IMG_0780-1.jpg http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii637/bedfordrifle/IMG_0771-1.jpg

Excellent work. Next time, save us all ten clicks and just post the images here. :wink:

I get the distinct honor of working with Mr. Schippers on a weekly basis and watching him work is an awe inspiring appreciation of his knowledge and skill.
The lessons and insight imparted from him are what drives me to improve to be a better gunsmith.
I will never be as good as he is but it is still experience being shared and for that I am indebted to him.
Reading his book is an amazing journey. As he is too.
Come to out to our Gun show in February in Indiana. He is always there.

Cheers, DonK
 
I dunno. I think he needs more practice. I am willing to help though, I have several pieces that he can practice on! (Just kidding, beautiful work!)
