Triggered..... Triggers and sears installed in the housings. Next will be to install springs, adjustment and set screws. The triggers are adjustable for pull and seat engagement. The larger house in the housing is for viewing the sear/trigger engagement. Also, the pivot point for the trigger is towards the rear. This reduces the amount of travel at the blade of the trigger, but amplifies the travel at the front. This reduces felt creep. The forces acting on the trigger from the mainspring to the sear are perpendicular to the pivot point of the trigger. Again, to reduce drag, creep and helps make the trigger more crisp

Organization always helps productivity especially when working on several at a time. Just a few components left to make and assembling then begins

Making more progress on the sidelever actions. Safety is installed and operates smoothly and crisp. It blocks both the sear and trigger.

Filed up the trigger guard and trigger. Sure makes a difference to add some shape

Why do you like to start with stones and then move to paper?

using stones first keeps things crisp and flat until all of the tool marks are out. Then moving to paper to create a more uniform finish.

Thanks. I’ve never used stones before, just paper backed by the right shape of wood. My needs have needed much less precision than yours!

Bailey, anyone who thinks hand built rifles are expensive should watch this "build along", to see the work involved. It might change their opinion. I pretty much already knew that a lot of time consuming work is involved, but your excellent coverage has surely refreshed my mind. RJ

It is really enjoyable to watch a true artist at work. Much knowledge, along with MUCH patience is involved. Thanks for posting all the videos. I had no idea how much hand work is involved. Russ

In this picture, what was heated or welded on the lower tang next to the receiver? Thank you for this whole thread, very fun to watch them progress.

There are two studs that hold the front end of the trigger group. The stem of the stud passes to the outside surface of the bottom tang and are welded in place.
