Time to add a couple pictures on this project.
Progress has been happening but I just don't move as quick as I once did and my ability to stand at the mill has been reduced to about a hour at a time.
Anyway enough excuses for slow progress.
I have attached pictures of three parts I have made. None are 100% finished as I have to get to the fit and finish stage of the project first before 100% can be reached. I machine the parts, to use an often heard statement to 80% or so. Anyway the 3 parts are the Breech Block, Operator Link, and Double Extractor. I have a lot more pics and some of education value to on how some features were machined. If interested just ask and I can post. (For example the radius on the bottom of the Link and Extractor and then on the floor plate must match as perfect as possible, so the question is how do you do that? The technology to do this is hundreds of years old and its pretty much the same as the english gunmakers probably used on their fine single shots and other guns.)
