Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

Hi All, The receiver sides are rounded, but it was easer to grind them to 45%, on my drill press using my long suffering x-y vice . As this is a Kiwi Sharps I`m allowed to cheat,.
Also fitted the side plate with hammer, a bit of filling got it fitting nicely . I have stress relieved the receiver , in the oven for 4 hours at 200c , came out nice and tender . I'm surprised myself how this is coming along, I think I`m better than I thought I was. , Homebrew.357. , Grinding at 45% the side bits. , Side plate fits in. , Stating to look the part.
