Very interesting gun :wink: . You did a nice job :thumbsup:. It does have the "cool factor" going for it. Did you have plans for it or did you design it on your own? How about that rear sight - home made or store bought? I can see a nice target pistol in there :hmm: .
you could take a little more off the grips, :grin: you were probably expecting that :wink:.

NICE job!
The concept looks like that of the "bicycle gun" that JC Stevens offered 100-years ago ... those their's were CF arms.

Beautiful work sir! I'll bet it shoots as good as it looks, too.
If you are concerned you may have gone a bit overboard with wood removal, you can always add some back by installing a vertical fore grip ala Mr. Thompson's "Chicago Typewriter". :rotf: Or perhaps a Picatinny rail made of walnut, upon which you can mount a period-correct acetylene miner's lamp for the occasional night shoot?:rotf: :rotf:
All kidding aside, your work looks just splendid. :hatsoff:

Grips are way too bulky; slim them down. You want to starve the termites. :wink:
Nice build! :thumbsup:

Does it have a breech plug I can't see or is that all barrel with the back part un-drilled and slotted for the trigger and hammer? Really nice I wish I had the skill make something like that.
The breech plug is a threaded portion of the action and was made from cold rolled steel (1018)
The grip frame was hot rolled steel 3/8x2 inch flat bar. 2 pieces screwed together. (don't know the alloy)
The ram rod tube is a conbination of 1/4 inch natural gas pipe with a piece of 1/4 inch automotive fuel line pressed and hard silver soldered inside
(don't know the alloy of either of these)
The hammer, trigger,and hammer spring-trigger guard were purchased.
The barrel is Colerain.
