Thread: Making a Rolling block rifle on my lathe.

Hi guys, I`ve had this large round lump of 1045 steel and keep stubbing my toes on the dam thing, I`ve been chewing at it like a beaver on and off. As I have the plans for a roller I thought bugger , its going to be the flaming roller action bit, the problem is it`s round and I need too make it square. Have to machine off heaps to get it the shape I want so I can start making the action, well I've plenty of time and gives me something to do. The start.
, It will be square one day.
