So I was at the local gun store yesterday...

The Ghetto Lathe[emoji769] at work. Stopping tomorrow to get some carbide tools. It bogs down if you really bear down on it, but it's a $39 drill. Patience is all I need. Since I'm creating my own version of a BH carbine, I have artistic freedom. This is fun.

That's a pretty cool looking gun! The possibilities are endless.

I tried this once, how did you match the height of the drill and the other end? That's what stopped me before.

Oh, I just put a 1/4" drill bit in the drill and slid the blockup to it to mark it, and drilled it out after.

Starting a few cuts...

You can't really tell, but this does taper. Lots more work to be done. I bought 6160 aluminum, which is hard as bells. The two outside cuts will be the cutoff. Again, I'm building my own interpretation of a bounty hunter rifle. I will cut slots to allow the barrel to slide over the studs. I'm thinking an angled cut chromed insert barrel will look killer.

Nice! Sorry I couldn't be there, I was busy getting shoved around by weird people at umphreys McGee. That was weird. Anyways, I can't wait to see this blaster come together!

Tom- do you have use for the clamp and endcap?

If i may chime in - i´ve build another Webley MK IV version into some sort of Boba-rifle. Here i showed the build step by step:

Maybe it helps.

Thank you! I'm making a "custom" job, so I am taking a lot of liberties. Great thread!

Not at all! But thank you

As mine is also not the correct Webley, it´s a a custom job as well, only following the general pattern of the one seen on screen.

 

[chizbot]

Thanks! Your thread is a big help!

Thanks Tom! I'm thinking this on the side and the long scope on the top. I'll get that light working, maybe replace with an LED...
