The frame started as half inch thick stock, but it was rusty and I milled the rust pits off of it. So, less than 1/2" now. The side plates are 1/8" plate.
It's all riveted together.
I think that a thicker reciever would probably look better, but mine is only a shade thinner than factory.
They just weren't really beefy guns to begin with.
The stock is black walnut straight out of my woods (well, after drying for a few years).
