	I know where I can get a hold of one of the repro pistols very reasonably to use for the donor.

	I got curious and checked Grant's first three books for information but there ain't much, was surprised!

	Jerry Langskron's book or John Gyde's book both cover the #7 pretty well. Marcot's Rolling Block book does also.

	Parts needed for a "#7 clone" #2 sporting rifle barrel with the Remington Arms Co inscription. You will have to turn the front portion to round. original 1871 Army pistol. Bend the tangs and move the trigger pivot pin. See Landskron's book for details Make the mainspring. Gunstock Set from George at Treebone. This pattern was from Dave Higgenbotham of Lone Star Rifle Co. for the three LSR #7s he manufactured. Ask George to turn it a little thicker than the LSR pattern. Beech front sight Early Lyman tang sight. There are a couple of rather short #1s that can be adapted. #7 tang sight base (extremely rare) or copy one if you can find an original to borrow. An option here is to mount a rear barrel sight and omit the tang peep. Carve the pistol grip cap. Bakelite or ebony work here. The butt plate is unique in size but very similar in pattern to other Remington Arms Co (RAC) fancy scroll bakelite plates of that period. A lot of work and have fun.

	Almost sounds like it might be less work to just get a casting kit and go from there. Work wise the casting might be a little more work but at least it wouldn't be a cut and weld project. Sam

	There is an interesting photo of a Number 7 in Marcot's book, page 316. The rifle appears to have a quite heavy barrel that is octagon at the breech but appears to be round at the muzzle. There does not appear to be a distinct transition on the barrel. could it be that barrel was tapered octagon to round of most of it's length?

If you read his description it states it's a full octagon barrel.

	I just looked back at this thread, and for those interested in building one of these guns, making the rear sight base and grip cap are covered. Bob (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
