Thread: Hawkins plains rifle project

Hi Guys, yep this is kiwi number 8 wire stuff, I only have a lathe and drill press, plus grinder in my garage and yes I did make 95% of it my self, lock, stock, and barrel. I did buy a few bits from (Track of the wolf in the US, mainly the brass but stock end, back sight and a packet of assorted screws with the side wedge plates.
This all came about when I found on line,(WWW Bill Webb`s Rifle Barrel Making Machine) it is a stand alone machine he made to make him self a few bench rest barrels,I got his DVD and info for this but I just made up some add on bits to fit on my lathe to make the barrel on and yes I did buy a gun drill from the USA to drill the hole in the barrel, AISI 1045 steel. cheers, home brew.357.
