    Hi guys, I feel a bit like Nasa, When after all the hard work men finally stood on the moon, witch means I have busted some primers in this rifle, so the firing pin is working, after some twigging and will have to bend the under lever up a bit so the breech block is a bit lower, pin hit is to high. This is the stage where you find out what's not working and start fixing your stuff ups. . Will have to shim were the barrel screws into the receiver buy 15/16" thou, It's this much out with a barrel flat at the top and breech block is a rubbing fit on barrel breech end only with a case in, bit of find sanding will fix for a nice tight head space. So it`s my clever way of fixing things up that will get this rifle going,Cheers, Homebrew.357.Name:  P1020237.JPG
