Nice project, Dave. I would think twice about the lanyard swivel...where it should go would result in drilling through the serial number, and that would be a no-no under federal law. Those guns that are made with one from the factory are either stamped on the front strap, or have the number off-set so that the lanyard doesn't interfere with the number.

I know how you feel, though, as I like the lanyard attachment as well. Sort of Indiana Jones look.

Keep us posted. You are at least at the point where you have a functioning gun for very little investment.

Best Regards, Les
