Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

OK, the rifling is under way, I start at the breech end of the barrel, it has a slight taper machined in the bore to stop cutter from grabbing, the bore is well oiled and the cutter is raised to bore size for the first cut. The r/rod is cranked slowly through the bore and you can feel it cutting , when to comes out the muzzle there are fine chips on the cutter, that means I`v got it right. ,Homebrew.357., Ready to start. , The T/C cutter doing it`s job. , The cutter is down, to lift the end bit is pushed in.
