Thread: Hawkins plains rifle project

Hi, This has taken me about 3 years in the building and working out how to do it, but the good news is as I did it I kept taking pics of the build. This I have posted on a forum in the USA, really got the yanks going, so if you want to see the full build go to,(WWW The home machinist), look at Gunsmithing then making rifle barrels in the lathe, by Homebrew.357.
All will reveled, also have just joined the A K L branch of the deer stalkers and shooting it on the range to work up loads, cheers,homebrew.357. Remember, while there`s bullets in the air there is hope!!

The round barrel was tool cut on the lathe , yep no such thing as carn`t do it, pics, cutting the octagonal, the home made lock for set triggers.
