    Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

    Hi All, This is how I drilled, reamed and cut rifle a barrel in my lathe. My lathe is belt driven and .900" centres ,I made some attachments to fit on the lathe so I could do this, never thinking it would work but having a go any way. I made up a barrel centring tube to screw on to a bit of thread at the back of my lathe, with fore grub screws to centre the barrel. It also has a round flange welded on with six spaced holes for the rifling register . pic`s, Homebrew.357.Name:  P1010816.JPG
