A 6" stub of .45 rifle barrel., i think grn. mt. a little Italian lock that sparks nice, maybe a bess forward pipe and sea service guard, anyway this is her 17 oz.  click to see few more, thanks for lookin and comments taken 2nd tuesday of the week......Tom

That was just a little chunk of maple left over from a rifle build, no inletting or anything.  I drew it out and removed all the wood that didn't look like a pistol......

Nice little pistol, IMHO.

I like that a LOT. The gun itself is a neat little piece and the "recycling" aspect of course really appeals to me. I have a mess of cut-offs from rifle barrels breeched and mounted into pistol stock blanks that are almost all the leftovers after cutting rifle stocks from various blanks. What I don't have is time to do anything with them.
