Thanks for your words of advice. I have a degree in mechanical engineering technology, and took the manufacturing route. I've built several different devices that are similar on scale and complexity and don't believe this will be a problem.
I'm currently trying to find the right small milling machine and lathe to convert to cnc for my home shop use, and also have a small home foundry set up. I only mentioned using a jeweler to make the internal parts because they would be difficult to make due to their small features.
I wasn't planning on using the foundry for my project because it wasn't going to be worth the time to make patterns for 2 or 3 guns, I planned on machining everything. Is there a market for screen accurate metal guns?

I can't find any info on the above mentioned metal version for $700ish.

My dad has a version of that is all steel except the trigger guard and and backstrap are brass. It shoots .44cal balls with black powder and percussion caps. It's really awesome to see, smoke goes everywhere.
I'm pretty sure that's the gun they modeled the Mal pistol to look like, due to its heavy use in the U.S. civil war, but don't quote me on that.
The blackpowder it uses is less powerful than the modern smokeless powder, and if you use smokeless in it (with the same amount of powder, I reckon) it will not be pretty. Plus, the smoke and smell of the black powder is what makes it fun!
