Re: Winchester 21 DR in 45-70

I am posting below some pictures as we begin the actual CNC milling of the receiver. This continues to be a work in progress. The pictures below are where we are as of today. There likely will not be further work until late in the week. The first picture is of the bottom of the receiver where the milling is complete for all the structure. The jig to the right of the four receivers is made to precisely fit the where the trigger plate will mate to the receiver.



This picture is of the back of the receiver with the bottom jig in place.



This is a side view of the receiver. You can see we have done some milling of the top but none as yet on the sides.



Another view of the bottom of a receiver with the matching bottom jig.



This is a view of the four 4340 steel alloy receivers two of which has had some milling.



This is a picture of the top and the beginning of milling the sides



To mill the side they are jigged bottom to bottom so two are done at one time.



You can see from this picture how the milling of the side is progressing.



That's it for now. I will update you as I make progress.-------Bill
