In early 2007 I had started thinking about making scale replicas of rifles. I searched the internet for information on how to do ti, however I didn't come up with much. There are a few sites but none seem to share much information about how to do it or where to get plans, etc.
I started collecting photos and patent drawings from the web, antique gun auctions seem to provide the most information, and necessary views. There are a few that show clear pictures of both sides, top and bottom views, plus close ups of any details they consider a sellng point.
Armed with hundreds of photos and some dimensions from the gun manufacture or replica websites I was able to craft a 1860 Henry Rifle and a 1783 Wincester in 1:10 scale.
