    Not add a mill and yet another round of tooling.
    Then you need some fairly specific tooling for gunsmithing : chamber reamers etc

    Unless you plan on using purchased barrels, or making smoothbore stuff only, rifling a barrel is a whole other pandora's box.
    So a bit more techno than a drain pipe, some nails and a couple of rubber bands then. That counts me out.
    dogmatix and ebf like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
