10 x 47R

Yes a Hardinge - best lathe Ive ever used - but not ideal for gunsmithing!

Almost Finished

Patch coloured in, and stock re finished. Just rust the sights and the cleaning rod - and obviously load some bullets!

Help - this does not make sence

The tape mark indicates how long the cleaning rod has to be to be of any good!

It can not be correct sticking out that far- Was there a joint put in it?

And any idea on what the ends should look like would be very much appreciated.

thanks

My goodness....outstanding work on all counts. I hope you enjoy that 10 X 47R as much as I've enjoyed my 10.5. After re-forming the brass and getting the correct bullet mold mine was pretty easy to come up with a good load.
