Much differnt from the 1885 winchester I have been working with..

Ash wood for the from scratch stock..n forarm..

We'll...see how this goes... :0/

Started on this barrel but it is not usable for the 220 swift..Just not nuff metal at the shank....

I'll keep looking fer one..

Cookin up an idea for a ..6mm k hornet...

6mm barrel is in..cut to within..
.0001...I only know that becose .0001..is the thinest feeler gage that I have..
N it is just rubbin the diecome ..
Die for machining..
Square threads as opposed to v threads 12tpi..

Stainless steel too...

Waiting on tools I need to proceed...
Coupla ah reamers..n ..such..

Test fired the 6mm hornet today..
Seems to be workin out ..ok... :0)

The case has a tad more expansion or...buldge than I was lookin for..

But that is ok..as it is no more than i have seen in factory ammo fired in factory chambers..
N..as a bouns..if I play me cards right..n..am bit carefull..
I will be able to make a resize die with the chamber reamer that I have..
The pilot that I had to use..was not a perfect ..fit.. but mooey good'nuf..
So there was a tad of wobble while reaming..

Had to use 3 differnt reamers to cut this chamber..
So no expense..on a custom ground reamer.. $big bucks for that...
Well more n I wanna spend.. :0)

The stock...
Started cutting on the raw blank..
This is more complicated than it looks to do..

While rummaging through stuff today..
I found an old smle 303 butt stock...

Pretty close fit...

Now I have a stock that will work..
It kinda takes the pressure off the raw stock project..
So I can relax a bit..n make a better go of it..

Still gotta bunch of metal work to do too..

Ho speed checked another load today..
2206 fps 80 gr bullet..
With a 70 grain bullet n..one more grain of powder..

Might get to just shy of 2400 fps..

Cleaning up the old enfield stock.. shows some of it's history... :0)
Just kinda ..neet..

Not real pretty but solid n kinda cumphy... :0)

Extractor is in..n.. works.. :0)

Now the back story..

I only have the one extractor blank...n..the company is now defunked.. so no parts.. or skeematic drawings...

I took me best guess cutting the extractor..by eye..
Just missed... :0/

So..one of me Buds came by being a professional welder..
Showed me the ins n outs of gas welding..
( I had nevah done that before..)

Now I have ah little bit of knowledge on that prossess..
Worked very well.. n..he showed me other things that can be done with it.. :0)

Practice... :0)

The 6mm K hornet...
Made the resizing die today...
Wanna make a bullet seating die for it..to make the seating prossess better..
Shot it ..the rifle ..yesterday.. very happy with the results..75 gr bullet at 2500 fps..n a 55 grain at 2800..fps..the 55 gr was very accutate... :0)

That’s a pretty badass looking gun!!! Very unassuming looking, but bet it gets the job done well!!!
Slammer!!!
