Thread: Making A Quigley Sharps Rifle on my lathe.

Hi All, been off line for a bit, my computer had a brain fart and gassed it`s self. So new laptop and learning to get it going and it would not let me on the forum, got it fixed.
So with the Hawken going good I needed a new project, looking on EBay I saw the plans for the Quigley 1874 45-70 rifle for sale!, now as I have all the add on bits form my Hawken project , why not, so bought the plans. In six days I had them, 26"x36"x nine sheets nice and clear . Now this is a lot harder to do than a muzzle loader, and I may have bitten off more than I can chew, doing this with only a lathe will be a challenge for sure. When I start there`s projects I start in the middle with the hardest part ,so I know if I carn`t make it`s no good.
So have made the breech block, with the firing pin assy in one bit, how did I do it, buggered if I know ,but it all fits together, some pic`s, Cheers, Homebrew.357.
