I have two threads on this site, one about my .22 Hornet build and one about my .303, which has lots of pictures. Between the two they should help you some. Keep in mind, if you use .22 rimfire barrels, as I did, then you need to size your cast bullets to .222" or .223". You'll never get the ribs off a Baikal or a Stoeger gun in useable condition, unless you have a furnace. Those guns are oven-brazed and even oxy-acetylene won't do it. I know, cuz I've tried!!
thanks for the heads up on the ribs, i would never have expected that. i can only imagine the mess that caused. i'm thinking either i need to make ribs or do this as liners instead. or maybe i'll luck out and find a better donor gun for a low price.
