Very true Dean, and top of my list would be the Haviland & Gunn 1881 patent for the very first breakbarrrel airgun of any kind. However there are two remaining British patents I want to tackle first (I have already started one). As long as I find the work enjoyable and the athritis doesn't play up too much, I will keep working through my bucket list
I suppose this one was spread over about 3-4 months. When I start one of these projects I have no idea how long they may take, as I tend to dip in and out of them depending on other commitments and how the mood takes me. It helps to keep me busy in retirement.
I have finished testing the gun against a Webley Mark 1 of the same period and I am putting together a summary of the results which I will post here soon.
For those interested in the DIY aspects I will also put together an illustrated summary of the trials and tribulations of making the pistol, as a separate post.

How dare you compare yourself with Time team? They don't mess about for months, 3 days is always just enough.
But seriously, excellent work and I look forward to seeing the next.
