I'm with you Harry. Building all of the special tools and fixtures that it takes to build a firearm is half the fun.

Interesting approach you took to winding springs. How do you control the pitch of the spring, or do you just wind them all closed and stretch to suit?

You know using a wire EDM on the trigger guard and action parts is cheating, don't you? Or are you just trying to stay one up on the grim reaper?

Nice work harry, please keep us up to date as it progresses.
