So I'm interested in your thoughts are on barrel pinning for pistols.
Specifically, is there a minimum number of pinnings/wedges? (i.e. one at nose end and one midstock or one at nose is fine)
Does a minimum barel length justify a certain number? (under 9" you only need one, over you need more, or it doesn't matter).
I've looked at pics of lots of originals and there seems to be a good mix. Seems like most pistols with long barrels have 2 pinnings while a few don't. I've seen pistols with 8" barrels have both.
One a longrifle the barrel supports the stock, more or less. Is a pistol the same way?
I've been mulling this over quite a bit as I get to the end of my current pistol build. It's an 8" barrel and I've only pinned it towards the nose. I don't think I really need one mid stock.
What are you thoughts.
(I'm probably way over thinking this. :rotf: )
