Very nice. I assume you are making a "ghost" ? Is the barrel stainless? I have a 2049 tomen kit and planning this as well.
Cheers.
Make sure that the spring that holds tension on the long rod thingy attached to the rear trigger is engaged. There should be a little notch that it attaches to. I had the same problem when I had to dissasemble mine. It was that little torque spring that actually allows the thing to rotate the cylinder.
Yep, it goes in with the trigger. The spring that goes on before that part creates tension on the part which allows it to rotate the cylinder. You will have to push the pins that hold both triggers out and remove the assembly. Be careful, because there are two springs that might fly out. Reassembling requires you to hold the parts exactly as they are meant to fit together as you guide them into the trigger slot. This is tricky to do without everything flying apart.
Meant to say thankyou for this, been dwelling on it for a day or so..
Finally finished my Tomen 2049. Stripped the powder finish, replaced the barrel with steel, sanded and sanded and then carefully sanded. Gun bluing applied, (which wasn't as irksome as I thought it would be). Rebuilt, (more irksome than I thought it would be) and finally complete. Gun bluing a little dark but I dig it
Just wanted to acknowledge all the help I've received, and thanks to Mr Savage on his recommendations

Hey, the binding post on the tomen is not plastic, it's zamac as well. it's forced in. Careful because the piece in which it's forced in has a weak point because of the hole for the cylinder swing arm.
to attach the new one, I think it's threaded, so you could thread the hole or just glue it in place I guess.
