Our "private" button rifling project is late.Machinist has had too much other works hands full.Very near ready.....
Just thinking aloud.Can we find way that we can get ready taper after draw or push button through the barrel ?
1) If we have barrels outside measures lets say 0,85" back and 0,95" on the muzzle.Put button through the barrel.Do we have little taper inside measures then? What happens if then put barrel to lathe and change outside measure straight 0,85" or so? Taper disappeared?
2) If we heat up barrel from other end just before buttoning.Lets say 400 Fahrenheit other end and 140 Fahrenheit other end.Then put button through the barrel.Do we have tapered barrel? I dont know how constantly warm is from end to end????
I took those Fahrenheits from hat, must count more sharp if we are going to test this.
Maybe again something wrong with my morning coffee or was there one cup too much....
But if we can find the way to help taper lapping some way, it is welcome!
Maybe also Friend Paul read this and give feedback!
