For the first item ever made on my new cheapo rotary table, I made that barrel ring.
I only milled the outside radius (which is now filed and sanded to be rounder).
I bored it and turned the leg on my lathe. It's just a hair off center, but since I eyeballed the whole thing I'm pretty happy.
hopefully I'll be able to finish the forearm up, and think about sights for it.
then chamber, install firing pin, case harden, and rust blue.
It's funny how it looks like a rifle, but there is still so much to do.
