This gun will also have an articulated trigger. Here are some photos of the fabrication. I did cheat and used a ready-made screw to retain the spring.
The gun had gold plated triggers when it came to me, they will not be gold plated when finished.

Get your files ready for another articulated trigger. I hope it won't interrupt the wood fitting on the Becker Fox. Bill Murphy

My favorite part of that is the reverse curve of the small pointed teardrop behind the trigger. Elegant and well designed. Impressive and Great work!

I know that the action knuckle relief must be there to allow the gun to open but I always thought that the notch spoiled the look of the gun, especially when viewed from the side.
I also want a completely smooth, uninterrupted surface on the bottom of the frame. So, to that end....

I don't think I can even afford to look at the video! Utterly unneeded and incredibly cool. This is what Best guns are about - because you can.
Regards,
Jeff

Nice engineering Dewey. Looks like it cams open before anything rubs on the exterior finish. Maybe a tight squeeze, but I'm looking forward to the stock work after seeing what'll be packaged under the forearm. Thank you for the updates.
