Thread: 5.6x57 single shot project

I have been tinkering around with this one for a while so thought I had better do a build thread on it.

I picked up a cheap 12ga Baikal after seeing the 30-30 that @akaroa1 had built.


The original plan was to build a 243AI as a mate had a reamer for it. Turns out that we couldn't find that reamer so had to scratch that plan so back to square one.
While I was on a trip back home to see my folks I came across a 5.6x57RWS reamer/brass/dies at a price I couldn't say no to, so it was time to find a .224 barrel!
