The cut rifling bought the bore out to .458" dia, so rifling is a good .007" deep. With a 1-20" twist should make a good 45-70 barrel, and or for someone thinking of nice big fat lead bullets.
Well you call a boat a her, so a barrel is a she and you must be nice to she barrels. So she is now wearing six rifling groves that I`m giving a good polish to, :omg:, NO not in bed!, out in the...

It`s my bloody brew that does that, thakes controle of ma fingres . The grenlins are creeping in, set my drilling rig going, oil pressure at 400psi and it`s pissing out off the barrel stock end, I...
Hi all, yep have set up one of the 4140 steel shafts in my lathe ready to drill a .444" hole in for 28". Now running two oil pumps for more volume and pressure and mixed in 5ltrs of Coolcut cutting...
