Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

Hi, When I get a chance I`m going to ether rebore and recut the rifling or make a new barrel for the Hawkens. Have been playing around making a tang sight for the Sharps and now I have drilled and taped the two holes for it to fit on I can get the breech block and receiver case hardened. When I get it back I can then fit the barrel on, BUT,it all has to line up at once, the last bit of tighting the barrel, ejector lines up and breech will close, Head spacing at .001/2", A flat on the top lines up for the sights. As you can see I`v more chance of winning lotto!. If I do get it, it`s ready for proof testing. My take on this is to load up some cartridges for a Ruger no 1 with cast lead 425gr bullets, fire two or three of there's and check things over, of cause I will not be holding the gun, any volunteers Homebrew.357.
