Rescued a Duck{foot}

[IronHand]

Went to my gunsmith today. First thing he did was hand me this forlorn little pistol. Looks like a half finished kit. He found it in a box of parts that he got in a trade. I was looking for a winter project so I bought it.

Does anyone know where I can get instructions for this kit?

Thanks

Inherited several pistols from the same company. Looked for boxes just now with no luck. Pepperbox was junk.

The grip is only rough shaped and the metal needs to be finished. I will need to remove some light rust.

just go at it, I highly doubt you actually need directions, the mechanism is silly simple and the operation of the device is very basic

clean the steel and fix the grip, make sure the spring is good and the hammer latches and releases

some more pictures from various angles would tell a better tale

I found this Classic Arms Twister .36cal kit many years ago at a going out of business sale. It came with cheap looking plastic grip stocks and in the white metal. I made some grips from a really old walnut board and after sanding the metal smooth used Brownell's T-4 Black Cream to finish it. Had to smooth up the trigger and hammer contact points to even be able to pull the trigger. It's fun to shoot at short distance but lucky to hit any small target. They made a bunch of kits, and they make nice display pieces with a bit of work.
