that's some really tight tolerances for by hand work. Diffenantly qualifies you as a Craftsmam.

Thanks All.
"How did you form the receiver! " If you mean the detenator balls, I found a ball bearing of the right size, it was annealed, cut in half and welded on, the rest of the frame was chiseled out.

I'm in awe. I've done a fair amount of, admittedly amateur, metal finishing and modifying, but the skill involved to fabricate this is really impressive and beyond what I would even consider. Well done.
Phil, I really like your drawing, I see the cylinder engraving drawing on the print but not on the cylinder. Outstanding work!

I didn't for some reason get around to engraving the cylinder, BTW the drawing was taken from a London Colt.
