Some people asked about my rifling machine. Here's a
picture.

The index disk has 3 circles, with 15, 21, and 24
holes to choose from. This makes possible 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12,
15, 21, and 24 groove rifling. A twisted length of square key stock
serves as the rifling pattern. Not always too consistent from one
end to the other, but easy to make up in a variety of
twists.

After I get a chance to work out some bugs, I was
thinking about writing a plan book for an improved machine. So I
don't want to give away all my secrets now -- a guy's gotta eat!

action

Here's the heart of the thing, the twisted rod and the
bronze guides it runs through.

Here's my cutter head, which was not too satisfactory.
The cutting edge was dulled excessively by over-riding chips on the
backstroke, and shimming the thing out with paper shims was for the
birds.

Barrels!!! Beautiful, simple... Gotta be the greatest thing since
sliced pineapple for muzzleloaders!

you get it ready, doesn't need to be fancy
