hacksaw + new blade, take it slow, less heat, look on utube for the larry potterfield / midway vid on re-crowning, you don't need a lathe unless you want a deep crown
piss-easy job to shorten and re-crown
Thanks. Ive seen some of his vids I will look for a cutting one.
Im larry potterfield fom midway usa, and thats the way it is. Goes somehing like that haha.
From crc in a green can? At school on the power axe not sure if its its name but its what we call it we use coolent water mix.
Nah I prefer to do it my self.
Cool. Keep us informed with pics etc.
Will do. It will be a while from now though.
Toby, pretty much any oil will help when cutting with a hacksaw (or drilling into metal). Engine oil, 3-in-1, whatever.
The less viscous, the better, but no need to go overboard.
You can even use plain water if you have nothing else.
Is choking the barrel on a rifle a very good idea? Wouldn't when you get really tight the rifling will be digging deep into the projectile making more friction then needed?
Toby, the common bore "choke" on a quality rimfire is 2.5 to 3 thou constriction linear from the chamber throat to the muzzle, not enough to damage the projectile but enough to maintain a good gas seal and consistent rpm for it's spin stabilized flight.
