Title: My Rifling Bench
Post by: runastav on April 19, 2014, 08:05:30 PM

Hi Folks!
I build my Wooden Iowa Rifling Bench in 2009 after the book written by Steve Bookout. It is ca 2 years since last time I use it, and now before use there is some repers before rifling.Worm groove epoxy using popsicle sticks see photo ;) Have a thick walled pipe that I hooned ready  the smooth bore is ca 457"and Steve send me some hickory sticks and rifling bits so now I am waiting for a "sub-teenager for power" hehe!

Hi all and thank you smylee grouch!
I have only used my Rifling bench so far rifling big bores. And then use riflerod 10mm dia, for smaller calibers I must use a 8mm riflerod. So the 8mm rod is finish and have brass sleve up to 10mm for tail stock all is done like Bookie say ;)The cutter bit from Bookie only neds a litle adjusting and then ready for inlaying into the rifling head.

 Dang Metric system  ;), so convert 10mm and 8mm to a caliber please.  ;D I would like to see it in action. I'll take a .40 caliber please.

Title: Re: My Rifling Bench
Post by: Bob Roller on April 22, 2014, 03:22:47 AM

james e,
One millimeter is .0394.A 10MM is .394.

Title: Re: My Rifling Bench
Post by: Acer Saccharum on April 22, 2014, 03:25:57 AM

I use this conversion so much, it's memorized.

millimeters x .03937 = inches

Inches /.03937 = millimeters

Title: Re: My Rifling Bench
Post by: jamesthomas on April 22, 2014, 04:08:21 AM

 Thanks! 10mm looks like it would work for a .40 caliber.

Post by: Angus on April 22, 2014, 04:29:30 AM

Runar,
Looking good. I have helped Bookie do some rifling and even did a barrel for my wife's gun. The methods work well. I have even played the sub teenage power part turning the wheel for the boring machine and drill. That old man and Don worked my tail off cranking the bits to get a barrel to dead on .50 cal one night in the garage. I think they had a plan before I got there.

Are you pushing or pulling the rifling cut?
What are you using for cutting lube?

Title: Re: My Rifling Bench
Post by: Angus on April 22, 2014, 04:38:02 AM

Runar,

We will need pictures of the curly chips and wires from the cut. ;D

Title: Re: My Rifling Bench
Post by: runastav on April 23, 2014, 06:06:07 PM

Hi and thank you folks!
Angus lucky you work with bookie himself :) I use Rapeseed oil as cutting lube, and the rifle cut is cut in the pulling. Todays rifling was a success, my buddy AJ did well as power hehe! But he must let the beard groow longer ;)

Runar,
Great job on rifling.
Did you count the strokes? How deep is the groove? Did the back of the rifling head hickory hold wear ok?
Looks like AJ has some fancy britches that are appropriate to rifle making. And yes, he needs more beard.

Title: Re: My Rifling Bench
Post by: runastav on April 24, 2014, 07:00:03 PM

Hi and thank you!
Angus, no count the stroke.  Half way in the rifling I inspect the cutter bit, hmmm  it have a high tooth so only this work :( I adjust all 4 same hight and then it work grait! So all in all we use 24 strips paper after adjusting the theeths maby 6-7 paper before it take again you comprende me?
The bore before rifling ca 458" after rifling in the rifles ca 475" Time rifling etc  ca 3 hour :)Hickory work very well

What will the style of rifle be the barrel will go in?

  Beautiful work Mr.Ragnar! ;D  Can you tell me about the steel you used? It looks like thick walled steam line. Shelby tubing maybe?

Runar asked me to explain. It is a true seamless thickwalled hydrolic tubing. There are no welded seams.  A solid billet of steel is pirced and drawn hot over a mandrel. This is the same type of tubing Blackley has been using for over 30 years to make barrels. These barrels have proofed by official proofing houses in England. The tubing comes in 5 meter lengths.

Best regards

Hi Blackpowder Friends!
Rolf and I got 2 smoothbore barrels from Charles Burton, one Cal 58" for Rolf and a Cal 40" for me :) The barrels are very nice, and now my subteenager friend Alf Jostein and me have rifle the cal 40. Rifling is fun if you have a subteenager as power hehe ;) We find the small caliber more diffiqult than bigger, and some problem there was. But the end result was not bad the rifle depth is ca 005". I think I will build a East Tennessee Squirrel Rifle like Bookie says :) barrel lenght is 44"

Well done, Runar and Rolf. the rifling in the .58 looks to me to be about .010".  Nice and sharp, grooves slightly wide than the lands.

I have a question....will ALL barrels be the same twist because of the twist on the machine??? so a 54 would have the same twist as a 45, or 35cal???? would that make a difference in shooting???

Hei Runar!  The teeth in that barrel look as if they could take a bite right out of your leg (or higher up).  Excellent work you've done again and the rifling bench looks like it's wearing in well.  The sub-teenager for power is the only way to go.  You do need to visit Toad Hall like Tim suggests.  Come when he is here and we'll hammer some barrels together.

That looks great!  The grooves look wide, which I like.  What is the tooth count on your cutter? (Teeth per inch or centimeter). It looks very aggressive, but results look great.

Post by: Pukka Bundook on November 02, 2018, 04:12:11 PM

Lovely work, Runar!

I made my cutter from an old file, and for some reason rounded the tooth a little on the non-cutting side.
Also rounded the actual cutting section, but that is just another style.

Runar,
I have seen guides made of steel ribbon in Scandinavia. Have you seen these or used this type?   The steel bar is twisted to for the rifling pitch, and must be re-indexed for each cut.

Best wishes
Richard.

Flott løp Runar, got å se benken i bruk. Holder fortsatt på med de seks Alex Henry låsene. Snart ferdig med kapitelet om fluene. Når jeg er ferdig med låsene, skal jeg begynne på igjen med postførervergene, har to som er nesten halvveis, men jeg sliter med å få avtrekkerne til å returnere.

Mvh
Rolf

Runar,

Well done, should be a great shooter!
