Album: 1/3 Scale Flintlock Naval Pistol

I'm making a 1/3 scale model of a Belgian naval flintlock pistol. I'm cutting the lock from 1/2" square CRS bar. The brass parts will also be cut from solid, all screws will be made from bar stock, and the springs will be forged from piano wire. At least, that's the plan.

New lock parts
The hammer is almost done. I'm not happy with the vise screw, and will make another. May also use a larger thread. Vintage earring box for storing the parts...

Lockplate blank
The real lock plate was forged. I'm going to cut/file mine out of a solid piece of 1/2" square steel rod. (Wish me luck!)
