Am I missing something on scale? Something just does not look right. Even if that is a three pound coffee can, seems small. Agree, minatures are as difficult a full size, just less chips.

A bit more progress.
Block slides into the action.
Bottom partly machined out for the trigger plate and lever bosses.



Action is 1 1/2 wide, 3 high - just hard to tell because of camera angle.

Good clear foto- even can see the blue Dykem layout-- looks like a nice bit of milling-- what Rockwell scale and hardness range will you want for this crucial part of the breech? Just curious--

The blue is DoAll Steel Ink (spray bomb).
Block is annealed 4140, not sure what final numbers will be. Will depend on cartridge to some degree, may even go with colors.

Thanks-- give us a report on the final caliber/cartridge decision, and whether it will be blued or color case hardened. Will you then cyanide color, or will you try the older bone and charcoal pack with heat and then quenching?

Well, a bit more.

The block with firing pin, try link and dummy lever stub,.


Bottom plate with hammer pocket and link slot(sorta hidden by the blue ink).


I am hoping to go with carbon pack color case, but a cracked receiver would be a real pain.
Caliber will be a rimmed something (Surprise?).

That is all for a while, I am seconded as a CBE for a short time.
