Hello all of you,
I am Robert j from the Netherlands who was inspired by Matt's beautiful video about the Britannia. Based on his information, I redrawn and recreated a Britannia-vintage style rifle 2021. For me, I was especially curious about the inventor Fred Cox back 1902. He must have been a true genius. He was way ahead of his time. To check his train of thought, I think it's really cool to rediscover his development and discover the problems he was confronted with. Now, I'm not much of a social media hero myself, but Matt says that shouldn't be a problem here. Matt, thank you very much for all your help during this project and as I read here, also the people who helped through Matt. I am very satisfied with the final result and have enjoyed the fabrication which is far from over. I had blued the rifle but was not satisfied with it. Last week I had the large parts nickel plated and that resulted in a perfect finish. I am now in the making and improving with a 2nd Britannia of which the trigger mechanism will come with a new design.
