An Airship Admiral's Sidearm. An elegant steampunk pistol.

Step 4The barrel

The barrel
The "cradle" for the barrel is made from Walnut. It was cut and shaped with my workshop tools, a table saw, linisher and a bit of dremel work, then drilled with a 16mm hole into the middle. ( I would have liked to have done this on a lathe, but don't have one yet!) This hole is to slot the brass and steel barrel into.

The barrel for the pistol is made from a brass tube taken from the same telescope I used for the scope, along with the wind shield from an old WW2 (ish) trench lighter. Both these pieces were attached to a 15 mm diameter steel tube (to add some weight) Then all three were screwed in to the wooden "cradle" .
