Thread: Blank barrel

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 Ill make a new one, it`s in the to hard basket at the mo. This one will go to a new home as it`s hard to get large calibre blank barrels in NZ without exporting them, lots of $$$$. The rifling cutter is adjusted very finely so it just shaves a fine swarf at number one grove, then all the rest are cut at the same setting, six in all and then the cutter is raised a snig and away you go again, pile of fine swarf.

The r/head is cranked back to the breech end, it hits a stop to raise the cutter and away you go again.

Bump, cutters up.
