Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

Hi, I suppose I had better explain the three pic`s, after my deer hunting stuff up I reamed and lapped the barrel on my Hawken .45 and went to check it out on Sunday at the range shoot. I all was get weird looks as I carry it onto the range but one guy was jumping up and down, Hi ,I`m Tommy, I know you Homebrew, Is that your home made Hawken, I couldn't get a word in side ways. He ups with his yuppie phone/Ipox thinge, "Can I take some photos", , he was dribberling every where. So he posted the pic`s and now not a word out of him, so I have to explain it all. I tried eight shots with 270g bullets with 70grs 3f black powder first, not very flash, minute of elephant, all over the place. Then I loaded P R Ball with 50grs b/powder, shot ten shots on rapid fire, big surprise , not only did I hit the target, It looks like I was trying to cut it in half. I`m still thinking I may make a new barrel for it one day. Hey, it`s all about having fun, , and thanks for posting the pic`s "Tommy", here`s my pic the best one!, Cheers, Homebrew.357. , While there`s bullets in the air there`s hope.
