Man that thing is sweet, looks like a very early one with the 5 digit. I picked one up made in 1913, their fun little guns. Glad to see you bring this back to life

Sure is, 1906 going by what I've found on the internet

Yeah I bet, you clearly have the skill

Got the last piece made for the nose of the 1903. From what it looks, I can find the rest of the parts online. Once I get everything in, assemble it and test it out I'll work on getting it parkerized.

Its came a long way from having to drive the recoil spring plug out with a punch lol

you do great work . should be very proud and that should be one that you keep and show off when done

 

[Mgderf]

Outstanding!
It's a good thing you have photographic proof of what it used to look like.
No-one would believe you without those pics.

That's definitely something to show off.

Thank you everyone.

I'm hoping to get some parts ordered next week and get all the fitting and function testing done.

I've been eagerly monitoring this thread, hoping to see the latest update. Will we get to see the finished product?

Most definitely. Had a few things going on with work and other nonsense the past couple weeks haven't been able to do a lot on it recently haha. I need to get some parts ordered this week.

I'll for sure keep it updated.

Great work! Looks like it's a definite labor of love for this one.

 

[Rubix]

That's awesome. I might have to dig up some Boardwalk Empire for a nostalgia fix.

Kinda been away from this for awhile. Made some progress and even did a test fire before I parked it. Finally got around to parkerizing it this past weekend. Got a set of grips on the way to finish it up.

I've been waiting to see some more, It looks great. I love to see the older guns given new life. How did it shoot?

Absolutely beautiful!
