How bout a pic of the transition point...oct to rnd.... :wink:

Roy · Dec 1, 2011

Ok.. will do not very exciting tho :haha: :thumbsup:

Roy · Dec 1, 2011

The picture might be a bit misleading.. the octagon part goes a bit farther on the bottom of the barrel then the top. There was more than enough metal so I added a second band just on the top 5 flats and left the bottom flats as they were after removing some metal..

here is a pic of the filing I did to the barrel..

the oct. part goes all the way to the front band on the bottom.. :v

Thanks, Roy. You do some fine work. I am building my first from a parts assembly and I have to say you guys are craftsmen and make it look so easy....maybe with some practice I will be half as good, I will be happy....in the mean time if any one needs any tips on taking $800 in parts and building a $200 rifle let me know..... :rotf:

Thank you Roy, very much appreciated!

Yeah that was great Roy,I noticed the barrel had an oct sect then a 16 side and two bands, might I ask what type of gun/and time period this piece represents the two bands and 16 flats section together caught my interest, thanks

Not sure if this will become a sticky or not but people can go to Roys site now and bookmark this tutorial for future reference. :thumbsup:

Its roughly copying the barrel on the Trade gun made by John Bumford of London... I probably went a bit too heavy on the 16 flats (really only the top 4 edges)... but from pictures it looks like there is that transition from Oct to round.. :v

Roy

How much time do you think it takes you to do all this???

Roy · Dec 3, 2011

on average around 6-8 hours to inlet a barrel.. With all of the picture taking, or if I have someone in the shop learning around 10 hours :haha: :idunno:

For some reason the two I have inleted have problems contacting the nose.....
