As much as I enjoy making exploded parts views and
technical drawings I sometimes need a break, and line drawing is the way I
do that. I occasionally get requests for these drawings and so I have assembled
them here for anyone who might be interested.
Thanks to those who provide information and photos to work
from. I credit my sources for each drawing. Sometimes it is a full
view photo of the original gun and sometimes it is a detail image sent to
me so I can flesh out a particular detail. I try to make the drawings as accurate
as I can.
