    Hi Kotuku, Look , a bit busy at the mo, the army blokes think I`m just the one to knock up a few tanks from A K L`s `s old diesel trains, said I`d give it a go, but would need a few F/P washing machine bits , but had to have a meeting with AK`s stallion, for the trains, but went tit`s up, he was having a meeting with some high school girls. There goes the defence of the country,, Homebrew.357.

    Any way, with all that walking up and down I`v worn out my hugges, well It`s cold in the workshop. I`m not a top shot with a camera , but have a deko at the (rifled bore), now Its not perfect ,but the rifling is there and a bit of lapping, polishing with lots of elbow grease should see it right, It`s only for lead bullets anyway ., Homebrew.357.
