Tang/plug and barrel, next to the real thing
The original barrel looks to be cast and scraped. I can't tell the construction otherwise. I can see the outline of a plug, but I can't tell if it's cast in place or not.

Drilling the barrel
I decided to use a twist drill to drill out the barrel. I was going to make a long D-bit, but decided the twist drill would be fine, since I'm not going to fire it, unless it wandered out the side of the barrel, which would have been bad, of course.

I'm going to make a scale model of this lock. Actually, the whole pistol. It's probably Belgian, circa 1800.
