[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2188381, member: 104363"] So, finally have a big enough shop to put a Bridgeport Mill in. From Phoenix to LA and back, $1000 and got everything with it, including a tight rotary table. My project languished for over 20 years. This is a 1877 Sharps action that was almost complete, with just a few machine cuts and chamber reaming to 45-70. I started this when only '74 actions were being reproduced. This one is heat treated 4340 and can handle smokeless loads well. After a few months getting the mill cleaned up, ready to finish it, finally. [/QUOTE]
