On the way home stoped a the army museum, measured up the centurion tank, down size it, use a A T V running gear and knock up a .50 cal gun, ok 45-70 for it, bike chain for the tracks, yer, give the boys a shock at the range when I drive up in her. Homebrew.357.

Just a short 3 montha project then, now Friwis idea sounds good!

Hi all, The rifle is finished, and I`m sorry that Toby is not here to see it, I didn't know him , but I think he liked his hunting and getting out in the bush. Life can throw some nasty rocks at us and we can't doge then all, I think he was a good guy who had to leave early.
So here are the pic`s of the Quigley 1874 Sharps rifle in 45-70 govt. It`s been a bit of a mission, but I got there and I must say it`s been a lot of fun trying to make something from nothing. I started this in December 2014 and I`m dam glad it`s finished, now I can see if it will be a shooter or a wall hanger. I weights 12.3/4lbs and just need to proof it and then get it blued. Hope all of you watching have enjoyed the thread and will help you in some way. , Homebrew.357.
