New Project-1860 Richards 1st. Model Conversion, photos posted

[Ottawa Creek Bill]

I'll try to take some new ones today and post them this afternoon. The only other thing I have finished since my first post is the barrel assembley, which incluides making and installing the ejector rod & housing.

I have a digital camera so I'll have photos up today.

One thing I might suggest, if you're going to attempt this, I would suggest you buy a copy of McDowell's book on colt conversions, its considered the bible, otherwise you're gonna get lost in the process. And, you'll need at least a lathe, mill, rotary table and indexing machine and know how to make the proper fixtures to make the individual parts. Good luck on you're project.
