Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

Now I can cut the thread and test the barrel for fit, I think and if not will just have to remove the tailstock. Will take it real slow, Cheers, Homebrew.357.
Attachment 37119, boring bar to finish size. Attachment 37120, It takes low cunning and a lot of junk.Attachment 37121, And some nuts and bolts.

Brilliant HB, "more than one way to skin a cat" springs to mind
