Rifle Machine is up and running (pics)

[clint campbell]

Last year I went over to Jim Chambers place and brought this rifle machine from him. It has taken me till now to get it geared up and running. My first doner rifle was my favorite 50 cal John Browning Mt Rifle that had a bad spot in its bore. I bore it from 50 t0 54 and went to cutting and learned as I went. I can say that this is to labor intensive to do for proffit but it did cut some fine 7 grove 1 in 66 ball throwin groves. I drove my sights back on in the center and fired the first 3 shots to the right at 50 yds. I then bumped the sights a little and shot the bull at 90 Yds. I am going to take it hunting tomorow and hope to have game pics to post later. c

Nice pictures of a job well done! How long did it take you to re-do the barrel? Emery
