Title: Re: Barrel Band for Krag Sporter Post by FredC on Jun 15th, 2018 at 4:57pm
Last photo of the kit, will ship it to Jim today.
Shows the rough pocket first drilled then partially shaped with a Dremel tool. The bar end with mock nut and band will be used to gauge while finishing the pocket. The brass escutcheon is also included. The round portion of the pocket was made with the pull drill and my heavy Milwaukee drill, a lighter drill would have more finesse and control. The end of the pull drill is .370 deep. So you drill till the end is flush with the barrel channel then quit. The Dremel will be used to make the pocket deeper to clear the band ends. Hobby knives and chisels will be used for the band clearance. Just a plug for Excel hobby knives, they come with a much sharper edge then the better known X-Acto tools. |
