![]() Drilling the barrel I decided to use a twist drill to drill out the barrel. I was going to make a long D-bit, but decided the twist drill would be fine, since I'm not going to fire it, unless it wandered out the side of the barrel, which would have been bad, of course.

I can't tell the construction otherwise. I can see the outline of a plug, but I can't tell if it's cast in place or not. Tue, Mar 7th 2006 (10:14 PM) 800x600 2592x1944 Also in: Wil's Machine Shop |

I'm going to cut/file mine out of a solid piece of 1/2" square steel rod. (Wish me luck!)
