The goal of this portion of the project was to make a functional, safe, and maintainable gun out of heavily demilled parts from the existing artifact. Beneath the polished exterior, all imports and most artifacts conceal complex challenges. Once that surface layer is removed, safety and legal considerations become immediately critical. Restoring these items correctly often demands significant effort, involving both destructive and non-destructive testing, precise material matching, and strict adherence to proper processes—all essential to ensuring a safe and sustainable weapons system.

A complete fire control, set of internals and breech control parts were fabricated as well as a scaled muzzle break, mantlet and moving barrel shroud. 

With structural integrity and function addressed, the focus shifts to aesthetics, emphasizing accurate proportions and functional design. Planning for ongoing maintenance and potential future upgrades from the outset helps avoid unnecessary delays and costs later on. Achieving this requires not just technical depth, but also strategic foresight and close collaboration with the end user. Large-scale capabilities are essential to be able to support the complexity, precision, and scale demanded by this scope of work.
