Didnt they make them originally in 45-70 anyway? A magazine for that round would be easier that the 410

Im sure you could knock one up pretty quickly, the hardest part was getting the barrel out in the first place, and if anyone wants the kind of drawings for the magazine I made they are welcome to them

Just to finish off, I tried it out a couple of weekends back, first few shots jammed in a pile of wood wit a string tied to the trigger, it worked fine with the standard plastic hulls, although the...

Almost done, I need to make a spacer to go between the wood work and the back of the suppressor tube, because of the angle on the back of this it needs to be relived at the front so it can be taken...

Its suddenly got busy in here, some pretty high end projects going on!

And all the front end bits 93948

The plan had been to have a go at rust bluing all of the steel bits. Like most things this did not go to plan, possibly from my dubious acid solution but more likely form using our now nicely...

The magazine is almost done, piece welded to the back with a notch for the release/catch and a pad on each side of the magazine to fill out some of the space and hold the magazine straighter. New...

Well I thought that was another fail on the magazine, I hadnt taken into account that the Enfield mag is rotated 6 odd degrees and the trigger guard opening is offset to the receiver accordingly....

It may still hold them, it might not feed too well though and it would only hold 10 still. There are more useful rounds than 410, would probably work with 444 marlin

And it actually seems to feed not too badly (well with 4 shells, Im not sure the spring will survive many more), biggest problem seems to be magazine sitting too high in the receiver and stopping the...

Well it looks promising....

Sides cut out and folded, the patterns were printed from the models above and stuck on with a glue stick then cut out with a jig saw, the guide plates were made in the...

Back to the fun of a magazine, a slight change of plan here (no not buying a Saiga one yet). The Enfield mag well is too narrow to fit a double stack and not rim lock. So instead of grinding out the...

Now back to the magazine for a bit, the drawing of the ribs is glued onto a bit of steel, multiple holes drilled and filed to size, this will be the hammer form to create the rib that guides the rim...

I have started on the rear sight, this will be a ghost ring/aperture screwed onto the back of the charger bridge, in retrospect not the easiest place to attach something to...

To start with I...

A bit more done, I have welded a pad to the suppressor tube to mount the wood work too and inleted the wood to fit, the woodwork always has the potential for stuff ups but worked out ok this time. ...

Little bit more, bit of wood with some carbon

Then roughed out with an angle grinder, thats a legitimate wood work tool right? Actually a flap disc worked really well

And...

Then there is a couple of bits without pictures, If I was going to do it again I would drill and ream the barrel before porting it and just clean off the burrs with emery tape, having the holes makes...

So I started on the front wood today, Im not the best at woodworking... Anyway due to lack of a suitable bit of wood Im going to use Rimu, a bit of an old stud. To start with I tried cutting the...

I have no idea what Im doing, its trial and error as I go!

End usage so far is having something that is more interesting to do than watch tv in the evenings, Im only putting it up now because I have a cold and dont feel like welding that shitty exhaust...

I had a couple of fails when it came to the chamber, well the chamber reamer anyway. the first idea was to shim an adjustable reamer with some little bits cut off a feeler gauge, this would have kind...

Due to not having a good supply of old gun bits I had a go at shrinking the Enfield rear sight down to something useful, it is probably a bit big still but Ill use it for now88953
and the spare bits...

This is kind of a carry on from the magazine thread which has kind of ground to a halt while this bit gets done. For starters the hardest bit has been getting the barrel out of the receiver, that was...
