Thread: Rifling thinge upgrade.

Now here`s something you don`t see very often, I had to have a go at rifling a home made barrel on my lathe with my new teko sine bar setup. Ok, yes I had to drill the hole, consider it done, bore came out at .448" and with a good lapping .450" , set the barrel up for the new and improved cut rifling job and it worked a treat, now have a .450" bore, six groves single point cut rifling x 1-48" right hand twist to .459". This is made from 1" dia asis 12-15 steel shaft and is for a muzzle loading black powder rifle only, but hey, it works, there`s no such thing as "Can't do it", The pic`s.
