My attempt at making a display model, based on a drawing found on this forum and base measurements from a regular .55 boys. The primer is a spring-driven piston so can technically be used as a snap cap, though finding the gun won't be easy. I am also in the process of making a regular .55 boys replica, which is a lot harder to mill the cannelures.

Pics attached.
