Second time watching this, I can hardly wait to see this with the wood and metal finished.

On how many yards or meters you can shoot pure on wich distance? If you have 12 mm pinfire?

More more ! Can’t wait for the nose cap !

It's almost done, boys! End cap and then BLO/TruOil on the stock.

Thank you for this excellent detailed series. That stock is incredibly thin in the action area. I’m curious how they made these original stocks in production. They must have had mills set up with templates, since there wasn’t CNC back then.

Отличная работа 😎👍

awesome!

you can tig weld the pitting with very very low heat. I'm talking like 5-10 amps with 3/32nd mild steel filler wire and just heat the metal a little before adding the filler. let it fully cool between each pitting area so it does not warp. use an angle grinder with a flapper disk to rough sand the welds down then hand fille the welds smooth so you get a nice sharp edge. polish to a concentric finish then heat treat the frame again since the welding will typically mess with the heat treat. finally blue or parkarize. I've done this method on several older guns like a 1916 Spanish mauser receiver that was badly pitted. unfortunately the barrel is another story. The only way to fix a pitted barrel is to drill and recut the rifling past the pitting to a larger caliber and that just isn't possible in most handguns and isn't worth it. I'd repair the frame using the method above and find a donor barrel from numrich or ebay. The pitting doesn't look too deep on this old gal even though they are large pitting areas. If done carefully it should take a few hours to fill and file the welds. She can still be saved and restored .

Neatly done.

I’ve done the same thing, silver soldering a front sight onto the barrel of an old corroded enfield mark I, but after 2 months of 303 recoil, that front sight came off… I’ve learned that welding was the only long term solution for anything recoiling greater than 223… but of course, welding would partially undo the barrel heat treatment…

You should send it to weapon jesus for review when its finished

"a true carbine" is not a "universal short rifle??" That's relative to how it's issued, not an intrinsic aspect. The term "carbine" is simply a nickname for short rifle (or musket). A carbine can be issued to any unit relative to their perceived needs and even for a given operation or assignment. The karabiner 98 kurz of WW2 was a universal short rifle and obviously considered a carbine. Many, many examples of cavalry units being issued carbines that were also issued to dismounted troops.

If the barrel is loose I wouldn't even run the bullets thru a sizer, and not seat them too far so the top groove is exposed more and not "resized" by the case. I got a loose Mauser that loves them like that with a 11gr load of green dot. I have also experimented by using the same .330 bullets you are using and running them thru a honed out .323 sizer with great effect, the extra weight with around 9gr will make them subsonic and feel like a big 22. Great for small pest varmint on the farm. So for your size bore it could be possible to use a 338 bullet and sized with a honed die. Also I get pure lead and wheel weights from my junkyard, do about a 2/3 1/3 ratio and the bullets are hard enough to not need a gas check at these pressures. Wheel weights are a lot harder.

Je suis le projet depuis le début, j ai tellement hâte que un nouvel épisode sorte.chapeau bas,je crois que c est votre chef d œuvre. ❤

How come you never use cutting oil for milling steel parts?

I love what you're doing, how and why. Purely in terms of simplicity are there not a range of interchangeable foresight blades that could have achieved the desired height? Albeit it may not have solved other fitment issues! 😊

K98k have barrel 600 mm

the steps where you show advancement and completion is just fun to watch

There is a joke abt cavemen eyeballs and level from rick and morty that could've been squeezed in here for fun 16:05

great content in this series

Fantastic work!!

I think those that would cringe at your method of crowning the barrel couldn't do better themselves given the same circumstances. Great work, getting it done! Love watching this series during lunch break, been doing it for a few months now haha

Believe it or not, when tinning parts, you can use Sharpie marker to prevent solder to stick where you don't want it to. Saw this on Mark's channel i think, Anvil thing. Tried and worked when fixing diubled barrel shotguns

I've YOLO'ed a number of things in my life but I can admire the bravery of a man who cuts and crowns a barrel with ad hoc tools.

Waiting on video #8 bro. I was cringing on that barrel cut, but you pulled it off as usual. God Bless

impressive

So very cool! It’s been great to see your project coming along so well. Keep it up!

For the front sight fitting, cut the Barrel before fitting the Lange sight! that way a parting tool in the lathe will cutt square, and crowning is easier. also, turn the Barrel down to fit a Mauser 93/95 or Turk Front Sight with sleeve. That will avoid all the cutting and milling etc. Blade height can be adjusted as required. DocAV

I cannot wait to see the finished project! I’d kill to have you as my gunsmith

I have used the same method for crowning the muzzle for many years, and do so on some indicated and turned 11 degree crowns, and have always improved the precision of the rifle. However, I use a larger brass round head screw and JB Bore Paste as that leaves a better surface.

Soo, the cleaning rod is useless

great video!

I find it quite sad you modify parts from another rifle instead of making them. Stuff like the front sight is a few minutes of work on a mill.

nice, can´t wait to see this Video

Man I’m excited to see it done! 👍🏻

wow, the amount of skills and knowledge is impressive

I know the barrel has been cut before, but that‘s a little ballsy cutting it again.

Cool

Parabéns! Lindo trabalho!

Came for tips from ireland I use my microwave cause theres a mini arc reacter thing inside to help melt metals but i use plastic or cardboard shells 😂 Gunpoweder at bottom then cardboard or plastic above that then the bullet above that

Cool

Great video bro, I dig the old German rifles and one of these would be a cool addition to my collection too.

You wouldn't happen to know how to solve extraction issues on one of of these mine just holds on to the round and wont pop it off the extractor? Other than that everything else works on it.

Are you going to alter the bolt handle too?

Wonderful work!

😇🤩👌🙏💪

You did very good, amazing job

Hey ive got one from 1918 and a scabbard from 1917

Have you tried vibrating the jacket off? With enough vibration everything will get loose eventually

That was awesome!!
