[QUOTE="RoyB, post: 483334, member: 1632"] FINISHED!!!!!! Took me three hours to get the old barrel off. I didn't want to damage it and I simply could't stop it from turning in the barrel vise. So I cut a piece of HSS to fit in the rear sight dovetail and a piece pf flat bar stock on the flat where the magazine tube lives. A few hits on the action wrench handle with a rubber mallet, and BANG! It was off..... The rest was easy. The octagon barrel I bought from Jon headspaced perfectly. Here's a few pictures, better pictures tomorrow........ I cut the barrel at 24", at first I wanted a 22" barrel, but at 24" I can always cut more later. [IMG]http://images58.fotki.com/v506/photos/2/36012/9556651/DSC_2476-vi.jpg[/IMG] I used Willians "Fire Sights".....I have them on my 1894CB and I like em'......Crowned the barrel in the lathe and drilled a hole in the front sight cover for more light gathering.... [IMG]http://images114.fotki.com/v145/photos/2/36012/9556651/DSC_2467-vi.jpg[/IMG] The rear sight slipped right in... [IMG]http://images116.fotki.com/v108/photos/2/36012/9556651/DSC_2458-vi.jpg[/IMG] The top of the receiver had a few nasty scratches and I never liked the look of the "flat-top" so I took a fike to it, bead blasted it and blued it..... [IMG]http://images107.fotki.com/v70/photos/2/36012/9556651/DSC_2470-vi.jpg[/IMG] I think it looks good with the short magazine tube....
