Hi all,
I would like to know how folks go about cutting the radius from the straight contour of the chamber/breech cylinder down to the primary taper of a barrel. I thwant to do this to a barrel on a rifle I am currently building. I think I have a clue on how to do it. First I would cut some steps from the chamber/breech cylinder down to the primary taper. The blend them in with a half round file. My question is when I have the barrels in between centers should have the tailstock offset to match the primary taper or just leave the tailstock in-line? I know that there are better ways to do this with the making of a fixture (I have the plans for). But my access time is limited to the machine's and am looking for a down and dirty quick way to get it done.
Thanks! Chris
