Anyone have a closeup picture or diagram of an inside the bow floorplate latch? I'm getting ready to start on mine and I'd like to compare it to one before I cut on my triggerguard. I know I saw a diagram in some mauser book but I can't remember where.Thanks.

What you need is a mini blueprint or a scan of the latch- it's not too complicated but you want to make it right...

There is also a link to Jack Belk fitting a latch made of 1/4" O1 tool steel- several good pics- of course, he makes it look easy... Anyone know the link?

Does the Kuhnhausen Mauser book have a blueprint of the latch???

Does this help? Hotater Pics of Gunsmithing stuff

wanna577,

Get yourself a used copy of Jim Carmichel's "Do-It-Yourself Gunsmithing." Inside you'll find ideas on how to make a hinged triggerguard and a few other useful items. You could probably find what you're looking for in the Dunlap book too, but I don't yet own a copy of that one so I don't know for sure.

Good luck with your projects.

Jason

Thanks for the scans Pettson. They are great, but now I have to buy that book because it looks so interesting!

Here's one I had that's built on a military triggerguard. I like this style but also like the inside the bow style.

I think one of Carmichael's books has the detail on how to make this style.

Good shooting,
Weagle

Are you going to share the scans? Smiler

What book are you refering to?

The scans came out of Jon Speed's book.
I didn't post them here as I didn't want to infringe on any copyrights.
