Runar,
Very nice rifling. Your worker is production ready. Let us know when you are taking orders.

Hei Runar!
It's a pleasure to see you and your cohorts use that rifling bench and use it so well. Such precision work with wooden tooling speaks volumes about your craftsmanship and serves as an inspiration for other builders. I do enjoy the series of photos because it's like reading a good book--you look forward to reading the next chapter. Mvh

Fine job.You and I both make chips and shavings with the barrel or lock
being a by product.That milling operation looks very fragile to me.The long
and unsupported shank of the end mill looks like a problem ready to happen.
Anyhow,keep on posting what you are doing.

Runar, every time you get a new "sub- teenager" he looks older

. Really good post !! You always have neat things to post! Good Work!!! Nate

Outstanding!!! Runar, Rolf and Bjorn, you have achieved another level of success.
This is a familiar scene that recently happen at Bookie's shop too. Tim and Jeff blew in from the northern snow range of Wisconsin for Jeff's first taste of rifling.

Very good work and a grand rifling set-up Runar!

I had never seen this tread until today.

All the best,
Richard.

Those barrels look great Runastav. I find this fascinating, being able to actually make and rifle a gun barrel with a relatively low tech manually operated tool. It's actually something that I think I would enjoy doing. Like I don't have enough things to waste time on already

Runar,
Now Bookie is going to want to rifle more barrels!

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.

runastav · « **Reply #66 on:** November 02, 2018, 02:46:05 PM »

Thank you Rich Pierce! The cutter is 1-1/4" long 8 teeth. The cutter base is 2,5mm wide which I like

Pukka Bundook · « **Reply #67 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.

I've seen pictures of a twisted square bar rifling guide somewhere as well, 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!
