    Hi. TA6319
    I have got rid of most of the rust and just pushed the major components together without any screws to assembled it.
    Pictures here in my percussion pinfire section : https://www.flickr.com/photos/fronte...57625478739916
    I have just noticed I need to update this section as a quite a few rimfire and pinfire purchases have not been added recently.
    You can't live far from me?

    That looks like a nice little pistol, well worth the effort.
    You have a nice collection.
    I have restored a few Nepalese long arms and really enjoyed doing it.

    I'm sorry that I sounded like a kill-blanket - if it makes you happy and you achieve anything that makes an old gun better, then I'm all for it.

    not at all tac, I just think that a gun in less than perfect condition is better than no gun at all. Its all part of our history which is disappearing fast.

    Hi. Himself
    I stuck the cylinder on its pin the wrong way round so nobody could possibly mistakenly think it was assembled correctly and ready to use.
