First in the white gun for me.

First try cleaning out the holes with the original bit and see if that works.

I didn't build it, just bought it in the white.

A few more. Of course, I lost the tang screw so I need to ask Jackie what size I need to get. Here are a few more shots.

[William]

One more.

I could be wrong, but might your tang screw may be installed as a lockplate screw? The way the tapered screw appears to stand proud on the right side makes it look like it could be out of place.  It is really hard to tell just looking at the pictures.  It is a good looking piece.  Perhaps the weather will cooperate and you can make some smoke soon.

That is a fine looking firearm you have there William.     You did an excellent job on finishing it out. Now I'll impatiently wait for the range report.   

[Hanshi]

It does look very nice.  A correct screw(s) shouldn't be that difficult to acquire.

Update:
First off, I found the tang screw. 

Second, putting the barrel pins back in was somewhat tricky and took some filing and finesse. Unfortunately one went in but split out some slivers on either side of the pin hole. I saved the slivers and used an Exacto type razor blade to carefully open the area where they had split out from and glued them back in place. 24 hours later I sanded the area flat then applied stain. No Tru-oil yet but unless pointed out it's not noticeable. She's almost ready to shoot and I'll find out on Tuesday if I'm ready to shoot as well. I've been off my right foot for the last three weeks due to losing a callous on my heel.

Here's a closeup of the splinters glued back in place, sanded and with one coat of stain.

Hi William, I would sand that down a little more and then try and stain that area a little darker... Than fill in any gaps with some stained beeswax... There are ways to make that defect nearly invisible. Take your time...your work looks good so far, I like the color.

[William]

Hard to believe it's been a year already, but here's how she looks now. And no, she hasn't had any powder yet; my right foot stump has been healing since January.

Nicely done! Like the cherry wood.

Nicely done! Like the cherry wood.

Thank you! I chose cherry just to get a red/brown finish.

I bought another Trade gun, this time with a walnut stock and a right hand English lock. Too good of a deal to pass up.
