Great stuff, keep practicing with a good load so you know there it`s hitting say at 50m`s then go and find some goats/deer. I want to see one of my barrels doing the deed .

Buy the way, how is the muzzle end fitted, a nice tight sliding fit. If its a bit lose would bugger up the accuracy for you.

Hi guys, just checking my thread, I`ve just seen this, bloody good stuff Rumpy. Sorry about all the machining you had to do but I dear say Micky will be keeping your beer supply up for a while. If...

Hi Mate, hope the move went ok, you can get rid of a lot of stuff when you move and find a lot. Good luck with the parrie`s , hope you are practicing a lot, if not here is a way to get close up and...

No Mucko, I've only got three gun drills, they drill holes of , .420", .443", and .500". Its ok drilling holes this size with the setup I have but if you go to smaller holes you need a lot more oil...

I was slowly cutting the six grove rifling and I`m making this one on speck , there must be some looking for a 27" 45-70 barrel. Well I get this email from a guy, "Hi, I like your barrels, can I...

No, I would feel weird looking up a barrel with only two groves, there`s something about six groves spiralling off in a barrel that says it`s a barrel.
I know it`s hard work but someone has to do...

Ricky`s the man, but if he say`s so right , I`m a legend, clever bugger and all the bits in-between. Production has ground to a halt, hope fully I've got dibs on a steering pump, looks like I`m one...

Yes I`m very pleased how this barrel came out, drilled hole was a nice straight .443" and only .010" runout at the muzzle end. Cut rifled it to .457", so .007" deep rifling and now lead lapping with...

Well no, my state of the art cutters are made from T C tipped saw blades and as I`m hand cranking slowly through the barrel with my top of the range C N C set up there`s no wear on the cutter. My...

And yes there`s always something that goes' wrong, the oil pump I got from my son`s Kanga is no good, so Tommy, (or any one) you don`t happen to have a S U V power steering pump laying around. I've...

You know I`ll have to agree with you, I`m slowly improving my system and thought the fast twist would cause problems ,but no and I`ll have to say this is the best barrel I have done. I`m very tempted...

At the back of the lathe is the setup for rifling register of the six groves, a bracket with a arm is bolted in place and the arm has a pin that locates and locks in a round disc with the evenly...

I suppose with the right set up they could be used, but I think they are hardened so no good for cut rifling and the time it takes I don`t need to practice. Maybe after I wear out the Sharps barrel...

OK OK, Here`s a close up and personal look at the rifling system, first pic is the rear end where the cutter is pulled through the barrel. You can see the sine bar and slider assembly and the crank...

I know this is getting boring but have just bored out a .443" hole in my last bit of 4140 steel shaft and rifling it to a 1-18" twist, it`s a hard job but some one has to do it. ;). It will be 27"...
