    Flaming heck, I knew this would happen, Spanners you will have to move to the back of the queue and I`m going to stock up on old washing machine parts and bike chain plus sprockets so I can go into mass production." The Homebrewed Kiwi Quigley down under 1874 Sharps rifle Company ". Sounds about right. I`m trying to make a tang sight for the rifle and after I have drilled the holes for it that will be the last bit of machining on the receiver, a good clean and polish then it and breech block will be case hardened. Thinking of trying some acid etching on the side plate, but will practise on some scrap before I give it a go. You know it`s all coming to gather., Homebrew.357.
