It has been a while since I checked in, but I have made a bit of progress.
I was able to get the muzzle threaded on the second try. Luckily, I had a bit of extra barrel to work with.

Yours is a new post while I was typing my previous response.

Good Afternoon Gentlemen,
Thank you for all of the replies and advice to go with my brainstorming.

So, I have access to a takeoff 270 barrel for minimal cost. I own a 7x57 reamer. I am thinking of making a Handi stub barrel in 7x57 rimmed.
The 7mm calls for a .284-5 bullet.
The 270 calls for a...

I did not see any 7mm rimmed brass available, so I got to looking at what was close.
303 is very close. The rim is a bit larger diameter by .009". That is ok for me as I will be using a lathe to...

Thank you for the heads up on the typo Hannibal. I had been dealing with a missing 24T stud gear and had a brain/finger deficiency while typing on my phone for that post. I have it fixed now, both...

Thank you for pointing that out country gent. I had started out with a true 0.500". The bit I was using had a bit of a rounded point so I had to cut a bit too deep to get it to allow the device to...

I had to take a bit of a break due to work and waiting for tooling.
I got to work on it yesterday but could not get it set for 28tpi due to a gear being in the wrong place and I could only get...

The hand guard that came with this barrel is already cut off to five inches long.

I think I may cut the barrel and hand guard at an angle like this ala Weatherby.

Yes, I was using the half nut Assyrian for feeding. I found another lever to engage the feed without using the brass half nuts. Thank you JDsingleshot.

Well…I will admit that I may well be using the tool incorrectly. The best clue for me is that I do not know what you are asking.
I only have one “chart” and that is above the two shift levers that...

I got a bit more done today. It was warmer and I had other work to do at the hangar, so there were many opportunities for the work to cool down.
I increased the rpm to 700 and the feed to 128??...

I will try that this morning. I was cutting .005" deep and using the slowest feed possible at 509RPM. I think it was 224 revs/threads per inch????
I learned last night that I should be cutting...

I posted a question a bit back asking about the process and this is what is happening with my project. This is intended to be a photo-journal of how it goes, and will be a work in progress for some...
That is why I was able to get my Mod 10. I really wanted a nice S&W trigger pull and it seemed to be the least expensive way to do so, was to purchase this unwanted PPC revolver.

I do not know where the Lyman T-mag press fits in the succession, but I like mine for working up loads and going back and forth with the dies without having to set them up each time I switch.
