Still more to do, but getting there.
Trigger mechanism, bullets, bullet case, and carrying case....Whew....

Very nice!! Is it CNC or hand carving or a combination?

Post by **Greasetattoo** » Mon Jul 10, 2017 12:20 pm

All cnc...Lots of sanding and fitting
And the wood expands and contracts...not good

Almost done with the gun.
It does cock, and the trigger mech works!

Now to see if I can get the bullet to eject!

And I have to make a case for it.

Size comparison...
Colt Anaconda .45
M1911 .68
