Remington model 6

[fix]

have a look at the Jaco pistol plans. They are all made from 1/2" stock with side plates.

I think the 1/2 inch looks better. Once you put a small radius on everything the whole thing seems to get thinner.

Plus, you want the block to cover the entire back of the shell. The half inch thick block covers better.

I was worried about the extra thickness on the Jaco mini I built, but I'm glad I went with the half inch thick frame. There's just more surface for the hammer and block to lock up on.
