Well guys this bloody lock down bit is a bugger wearing out my shoes walking the dog , getting wood to keep the fire going. My lathe has packed a sad, broken gear in gear box so using it by hand. Yep...

I all ways though 17 HMR was ,177 cal, just found out it`s not it`s .114 . I think, Is there a centre fire one you can reload.

I had my Sharps blued at 14/ diana court, along Diana drive, good job. I think he does Hardy rifles as well. All up in A K L.

I don`t use deep house batteries, Just put a marine starting one in to my caravan, works good. well I hope so.

Hell, all you guy`s are lucky, I`m coming up to 79 years so out of the bush now and just a bit of fishing. Old age is a bugger.

Jee`s , that`s realy doing it the hard way .

That`s what I use for towing my caravan, and with diff lock on it will go any where great car.

That barrel is chambered for 45-70 I think, should be good to go. I use 3031 powder and load up my Sharps with 40gr and a hollow base bullet.168406

O my god, :angry:, sitting rusting in the rain!!. I was toying with the idea of pushing a button with some threaded rod but getting a .457/8" rifling button,???.
After a long break I`m setting up to...

Done.

OK, now I know where it is will put it on my list of things to do/ drink, :beer :, Homebrew.357.

My take on this is .22lr dam good bunny buster, cheap amo. My jump up from it would be 22 hornet / 22-250 or the ones in-between, you can reload them, not so with .22mag and it gets expensive per...

I only use two powders, MIR3031 in .308, .3030, and .45-70 which I also use gun powder in and it all goes boom.

Hi there marjon, Keeping bloody good mate, if the rest of the world is anything to go by and the fact that I can jump in the caravan and go toddling off makes you think thank god I live in N Z. Out...

Thanks for the heads up, through it would be a hot spot, sounds good and now days a fresh Kahawhai on the smoker is the way to go. Have to check the gears up to scratch in case one of those kings...

Hi Guys, Planning on heading down to Napier for a break when the rush is over and throw the surf casting rod in to the boot. So what`s the fishing like by HW51 were the Ngaruroro and Clive rivers...

Bugger, I`m locked in Jafa land, would to come down for a hello with all you guys and spit some lead down range, have a good one mate. Homebrew .

Yes I can get it to do most things, here`s one, It helps with my beer supplies,:) as I use shims to pack things up I have found that ali beer cans cut into strips are the best for this. Different...

Hell, all this reminds me of my first .22, it was a Remington Target Master single shot, knocked off quite a few bunnies on Waiheke Island about the 1960`s. used to buy a brick of 500 ICI 22 amo and...

OK, so having milled out all the centre it needs to be square in the round corners, this was achieved by using a T/C tipped cutter from a saw blade first and then a small HSS square one to finish....

So with that part milled out it`s really starting to look like it will do the job. Fear bit of work to do yet but it`s coming a long, here`s what it looks like so far and the pins are a snug fit so...

Still in milling mode, have changed the cutter for a rounded tip one so puts a corner Radis to help stop cracking. This is now milled out to size ready for the hammer and breach block so may have...

The first mill cut out .650" slot and I needed .735" per the plans, so after a reset up to get it lined up on centre I mounted a broken mill cutter with only one cutting flute. Set in the four jaw...

Ok, Got the barrel making bit sorted so back to the roller action, it now has two holes drilled for milling clearance and after careful setting up have started milling out the guts where the breach...
