Where are all my Army buddies when I need them?!
The top cover latch won’t come back far enough to clear. I’m using needle files to relieve a few thou off the stop block. Just need a teensy bit.....
The Project...

AND I THOUGHT MY SHOP WAS............

Lol, it’s not really “my shop” but I do share it
With 9 other people. You’d think one of them would straighten it up where a man could work. I had to waddle me a hole to tinker.
I did get it! Now to figure why the sear ain’t engaging with the trigger.

Jimmy Clark was a Master gunsmith but
His shop was always a mess. I was visiting there when one of his assistants decided to clean it up. It was beautiful! You could literally eat off the floor. Two weeks later he called me at home to let me know everything was back to normal it was a real mess again.
I was gonna say it looked like they
HAD cleaned up since I was last there!
Do they teach all Army men how to run these things?!
It’s pretty simple but I can’t see this one’s trigger hooked or interacting with anything. Not sure if all the parts are in there, that makes it fun. I have not even got to the cloth belts and feeding. It’s a handful at 32 lbs.
I got it back together. Still sorting it out.
