I like the lines. :cool:
 
I was able to complete regulating today. Fairly painless, and I like the results. I used Remington factory ammo, 45gr hollow point. I used open sights, 50yds. Here is a picture of the final group. ( I pulled the far right shot a little, but not too bad considering it was freakin cold today)

After that, I went into the shop and polished the barrels up and touched up a couple of other areas on the action and forend so I can show it this weekend at the DSC show. The action will get another acid etch just to make it a litte deeper.

Hope you enjoy!!

Have you considered bluing it? It would be quite something with that damascus - maybe louder than what you're looking for.

How many hours went into this, just for kicks?
 
excellent work! I would like to see some wood (same as stock) between the barrels to fill in the gap, I think it would look good that way.. also love to see a pistol made in the style of the old pirate flintlocks but with modern action... great stuff!!
 
Alright,

I have the action blued, stock checkered and am going over all the parts one at a time to make sure they are right for final assembly. The damascus is etched deep enough that the high layers are polished, and the deeper etched layers are matt, so the pattern still contrasts even with the blueing.

Were almost there!!

Please tell me that after all this incredible work you are going to have someone professionally photograph this spectacular piece?

I've been following this thread since it began and have been waiting to see some finality - and all I can say is how much I admire what you have accomplished here. There really aren't words that work too well to describe your endeavor. Like I said about Rodrigo Sfreddo's work, it's beyond awesome.....
