I found quite a few dimensions that were "off" when I did the CAD drawing and I adjusted them as necessary to make it all fit and work. AutoCAD has a great feature where you can group several lines together and then make them into what is called a block. All the major components in my drawing are blocks such as the hammer, trigger, breech lock, etc. As I built the model in the drawing I put each of the components in a separate part of the drawing as a stand alone detail. Then when I edited a specific item as a block the changes were automatically updated on the detailed component. Once I had everything working on the assembly drawing all I had to do was dimension the detail pieces.
I have attached two drawings; one without the dimensions and one with dimensions. I know that I have over dimensioned the individual pieces but I will go back and clean things up after I build the wooden model and find out what is critical and what is not.
Looking forward to seeing some pics of your build soon!
