By the way this is the knife he has been trying to post on his own lately with no success.He is also having trouble being able to even post a reply,that is why he hasn't been replying lately but he has been reading the firums.

Thats awesome. Is that another .33 ( one OO buck pellet ?) I like the bead sight on the front, and the underhammer. Is it hard to keep the caps from falling off?
I may have to try an steal some of your thunder. I'm building a great plains rifle, and you've got me thinking a folding saber would just the thing to finish it off with (insert big evil grin here)

Bruce Bump · Jan 25, 2003

Thanks Guys!!

Matt, Go for it. If you like knife making you will love gun/knife making.

Dan, Yes the 1095 worked out really good. The trigger guard/hammer spring and the blade lock return spring is yours. Thanks much! I heated them in hot salt and oil quenched and tempered them at 700deg to get 49 rc hardness. Very springy and tough.

3000 layers of 1084/15n20/pure nickel for the blade and all three bolsters.
external blade lock
pre-ban documented elephant ivory grips
0-1 trigger, hammer and blade lock
mild steel frame
.22 calibur liner bored to .242" to accept a .224" 40 grain Speer spire soft point bullet w/.010" thick patch
Black powder size 3f
ram rod in the grip

Thanks for looking.

Ive had a terrible time posting lately. Thanks Bruce Evans for posting the pics.
