Got the second one together, finally. The parts I ordered didn't fit, of course. But I endeavored to persevere.
What happened to begin with, the threads in the frame stripped, my fault. So, I drilled them out and re-tapped them. In the meantime, the parts got mixed up with other projects, or/and got misplaced. (I have a ghost in the basement who likes hiding things from me). The left-over parts from other guns got modified to work, and after 2 days of 'putzing' the pistol is in one piece and functional. My brother told me there are two types of people who work on guns, gunsmiths and idiots. Well, I don't claim to be a gunsmith that's for sure.
