Thread: 1885 rustoration

Then the real work began
I made a bore guided drill on the Elliot tool and cutter grinder
And drilled out the entire barrel to 16mm



While it was in the lathe I took 3mm off the barrel shank end so I could deal with excessive head space

Then I turned down a 32" long stainless steel 45 cal Vulcan barrel to 16mm and left a 5mm flange at the breech end to deal with the head space


Then epoxy the liner in and force out excess epoxy at the breech in the shop press
