"Homebuilt Firearms" is a great initiation for hobbyists who wish to
try building a real gun from scratch, using only standard garage tools,
NOT milling machines or lathes. Such a project is definitely a great
learning and skill building experience for a person who enjoys gun
sports and shooting-- and unusual, challenging projects.
Starting with a used .22 barrel from a gun show, and adding some
scrap Steel, a hobby builder can utilize his ingenuity and skills... using
a drill press, grinders, wire welder, a hacksaw, files, etc. and can
indeed build a firearm, first a repeater Single Action model, then a
Double Action weapon.
The rifle project described here is a functional ten shot .22 rifle. It
offers a fun and rewarding building experience for any mechanically
minded individual, an achievement to be enjoyed and used.
