Now it's time to put everything together.

First you'll want to insert your barrel into the gun. Don't nail it yet but lay the rod with the fore-end in it under your barrel. Try to see where the barrel "connects" to the gun and mark it. You have to make a hole at that place 2 cm deep just like the hole you made for the barrel. Make sure however that the fore-end can freely move and that the flippers reach the grooves!

When you have done that, nail the barrel to the gun using two nails. You can also use some woodglue but I would also use nails as it's certain that it's secure then.

After that take your rod and hammer a nail into it. Make sure the nail is long enough. What you'll want to do is pull the nail back a little then, put some woodglue in the hole of the gun and insert the other side of the rod into the hole. Then hammer your nail into the barrel of the gun at the tip. This way your rod is secured on the gun and the barrel. Also it makes it impossible for the fore-end to fall off. Don't hammer the nail in to far though as it may make your fore-end immobile.

Congratulations your gun is now finished! Read the next two steps for tips on firing, reloading and  things you can add to your gun.
