I just finished up another gonne. 8 inch barrel .62 cal with a hand forged match holder attached. The tiller was an old rake handle that I found in the trash. Actions photos to follow.

It was a 2 inch diameter piece of 12L14 steel. Turned, machined the octagon then bored and reamed it to .625. Video to come soon.

Excellent work! My next one will have a match-lever thingy like yours. I can't wait to see the action pics.

Thanks. Not to stray into modern guns but the bren is deactivated. In a future project I'm. gonna convert it to semi. SOMEDAY.
 
Another well done! Nice recreation of a piece from an early illustration! Glad to have you back from the Valley.
