Had young fella show up at my shop with a pistol kit. Asked me to assemble it and shape the pistol grip. Well, got 'er done. Kind of a strange creature. It shoots all three barrels at once. They call it a Duck Foot pistol. hootalrifleshop.org | |||

The barrels are pinned. Locks and triggers installed. Also the tang bolts are in place down to the trigger plates. Next I will groove out the ramrod channels and drill the ramrod holes in the stocks. hootalrifleshop.org | |||

Those little rifles are looking just terrific, Al! I (and I'm sure all of us) would love to see some full-length photos. Are those Siler locks?

I see that NMLRA has the Golden Mean booklet available again; I need to get a copy so I can learn what Hoot Al is referring to.... ~Kees~ | |||
