Scuse me as I figure out how to post pictures . I've built 30 plus rifles and handguns over the last 20 years. The Winchester 1885 Low wall and the Highwall have been most difficult for me. The story behind this one is that it is a copy of a rifle I inherited from my grandfather. This was just my 4th rifle I built...I took his rifle apart , examined the parts ,told myself that was more work than I was ready for so I boxed up the parts they sat in the box for 2 years . I found this old picture showing how I threaded the barrel hole and I cant fathom why I did it that way . Since then I've always drilled and tapped in the milling machine.
