Building a Fusil-de-Chasse

[billraby]

I just posted Part 8 of the series that I have been doing of building a fusil-de-chasse. In this one I inlet the main spring and drill the holes for the lock bolts through the stock and lock plate. I hope that you enjoy it. All comments are welcome.

I just put Part 10 up on You Tube. This one is putting in the tang bolt, installing the flash hole liner, and the front sight.

I forgot to turn off my alarm on my phone last night and my phone went off with an alert at 3 am letting me know it was posted. :grin:

So.....your saying it took you that long to watch it? :rotf:

Nice job on both the tang bolt and the front sight.

I usually find help (extra pair of hands from the Mrs) to hold the stock\barrel steady. I'm not aquadrextris like you!!

(Aquadrextris = The ability to hit a baseball right or left handed, while under water) :shocked2:

I just had the vice holding it.

Steel is a PITA to prep. OTOH....I prefer steel over brass. But....if I could pay someone to prep all the furniture.......I'd likely build more rifles!!!

Watching 12 now, almost as much fun as building... almost

It sure is a pain. Just started the next gun. Doing video on that also. This gun I just started also has steel parts. Time to buy a belt sander.

Just got done with #13. Nice video! Now I know how to "more better" sharpen my chisel's......AND more better inlet a buttplate!!

Glad to hear that you like them. I will get to carving the stock to shape pretty soon. That is the fun part.
