Having finished the breech for my 2240 (parts 1,2,3), I needed a barrel and bolt.
I sawed a 2260 barrel in half.
Chucked in the lathe and crowned.
I decided to see if Cratex would remove the burrs.
Not bad.
The existing transfer port in the 2260 barrel lines right up with the breech.
Cutting the o-ring groove in the bolt.
Chamfering.
Turned to remove scale.
Looks like a bolt.
Finding the centerline and end.
Spotting the bolt handle hole.
So when you remove a drill bit from the drawer labeled "#29", it pays to measure the drill bit before using it...because it turns out that this is a #21 drill.
Counterboring the hole.
Tapping #10-32 for the previously mentioned reason
Ready to thread the bolt handle.
The handle end chamfered.
Turning a decorative bullseye in the end.
Yes, it's a bit chunky and I'm not entirely sold on it. But it is comfortable.
The pistol so far.
