Thread: Blank 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 with chain loop that pulls the lathe bed slider along. The top of the chain loop is bolted to the slider and goes back and forwards driving the rifling cutter rod.

Now the rifling cutter head has been pulled through and you can see shavings by the cutter.
.
To go back the cutter is lowered by pushing the adjustment nut, Arrowed, back out, this lowers the cutter down for going back. There`s a ramp inside the head for raising the cutter up and down..
That should take you awhile to finger it out.
