An Ugly Resurrection

Here is another older pistol, dated "P11052011".  A  .50 cal DOM steel barrel, 1 inch OD, .50 inch ID, no seams, cost was $1US per inch.  The two slab side plates contain the action and an internal coil spring for the hammer.  The trigger rubs on the coil spring which pushes it into lock.  If you recognize the front sight, holler back. Walnut scraps for the grip. Today I added the hammer cup and tightened the hammer coil spring a bit.  Two large 10-32 screws go through the barrel plug and hold the barrel in place.

Left side plate.  You must remember this was made back when I was just getting started, shown on a website called www.garagegunsmithing.com.  This pistol is not to pleasant to look at but it does get the job done.

Hammer down on a piece of fish tank tubing. The tubing is so that the TV baddies can be gotten rid of (dry firing allowed) thunk, there goes another one.  Grip has been stippled, a really rough attempt but it does really help in the gripping. The 3 screws at the rear hold the F-shaped grip into the frame.

Hammer full cock.  This grip shape points nicely.

Smooth Bore, .50 cal.  Rear sight is a block of steel soldered to barrel, tapped with 4 each 6-32 screws to mount a peep sight,  not moveable.  Front sight (the smaller brass piece) is threaded into the larger brass piece to adjust elevation.
