Thread: Hawkins plains rifle project

Hi, Guys, a lot of the time doing this was making up the bits to fit on the lathe, and once I had it all sorted making the barrel took only about 3/4 weeks. Now this is the the first barrel, it came out a .440 bore, not what I wanted and it is a bit rough in side. Have made up a new cutter head with a t/c tip this time from an old saw blade, getting the gun drill sharped and getting some 1018 steel for another barrel, this time .450" bore I hope, Cheers ,homebrew .357
