Default A trip down memory lane.

In the interest of, well, interest, I will post some photos of parts I have made or purchased for the gun. I'm quite sure you can tell which are made VS the real thing. If it looks dodgy, I made it! The photos will run over 4 posts.

The lever on the breech will be cut down by 1/2 and a handle added at right angle.

The trails will soon be plated both sides, and fully welded....but not by me!

Axle was made from Land Rover stubs welded to 4mm steel tube. The 'hand brake' assembly is entirely fake, but if I get enthusiastic, it could be made functional as the actuator rod has since had a cam added, to press against the inside of LR brake shoes. That is if I choose to put the shoes in. The Land Rover axle stubs, hubs, backing plates, brake drums and wheels, have all been used for effect.

OK, this last one has nothing to do with my gun, but everyone loves labrador puppies, right!
