Another school project. Still working on the rough edges, borrowed a Sig stock, cannot make up my mind about getting a fixed folding stock or adjusted folding stock has to have a 1913 picatinny rail.

Have you considered making a replacement 76 trigger bar that's a single piece of heat-treated steel somewhere around Rc 52-56 so it's softer than the sear but way harder and way more durable than the stock laminated piece? There would be a market

I am still really interested in an improved wire stock design if you have thought about it.
I have an extra spare wire stock that could be sacrificed/drilled/modified if there are any ideas out there.
Anybody else interested in a more sturdy stock system?

I really like your Sig stock adapter project. Is it hard to put together? Require welding or just drilling, nut, bolts, etc?
I would certainly be interested if some were made available.

Milled from a steel block,
Many hours, I used up my allotted class time on the mill.

Wow, those projects look great! You should consider selling some of your products. I'm a SW76 owner and am glad to see another potential source of spares and innovation.

Glad to see you posting again about this S&W76 stock adapter. If you have the ability to make one that is very sturdy, I would pay a reasonable price and I believe many other 76 owners would do the same. The folding stock is the Achilles heel for this classic Subgun. Looking forward to your next post.

And I’ll pay even more

and then he's gone again...

Many people have asked him to make/sell some of his items (which would be nice) but he has never answered on that question before. So, what do you think??

I think this guy is a student who is focused on learning and isn't ready to go into production?

The school is shut down at this time.
I was taking this class two night a week, sharing milling machine & lathe with other students.
I started the class because I could not find the parts I wanted , some parts may only take a few hours, others take weeks.
The instructor discourage from selling parts, could be a liability. He does not want the class to get shut down.
But I know students are working on other peoples guns.
