    Hi, Have got the barrel sorted, bore, .450" ,lapped, polished with 1200grt paper and O D tapered. Now will have to do some precision work so I don`t stuff things up, which means I`m getting a David Manson finishing chamber reamer for the chamber job , David says it will do the whole job of chambering being a straight case and it will do it 40-50 times, good reamers, he`s in the U S of A. Have ordered a block of 4140 for the receiver and when it comes will sort out getting the breech hole done. But don`t worry there`s plenty of backyard ,number 8 wire stuff to come yet.,Homebrew.357.
