Odd BBLs From Numrich

An unexpected occurrence...

The 'winner' of the auction for the 8" Numrich barrel offered the barrel to me, and of course I accepted.

Now I'm somewhat at a loss...It's 30 cal, and I don't have a 30 cal artillery Luger, so I could go that way (I have a cut-down Luger artillery barrel with intact rear sight base that I could bore out and sleeve over the Numrich barrel)...Or I could use it to make a 30 cal Walther 'artillery P-38'...

I bought two 30 cal 'pulls' to use for 30 cal barrel replacements [Win M-70 & Rem M700] so I don't really need to use it for a 'blank'...

I already have a 13" 30 cal barrel ready to turn into a Luger 'Buntline', so I don't need it for that...

I've kind of run out of WW II pistols to turn into artillery whatevers...

How best to make use of this windfall???...

Continuing with the 6" 30 cal barrel...To the rear!

This will hopefully be the last 2-cut extractor notch I do; I'm going to try grinding an oversize Woodruff keyway cutter to Luger dimensions...

This is the second time I've cut the feed ramp this way, and I'm delighted at how nice it comes out...

While I had all the tools, cutters, fixtures, and notes out and still firmly fixed in my mind, I did a 2nd 6 inch 30 cal Luger barrel extractor notch and feed ramp...

I have a 3rd 6 inch barrel in 9mm that needs notching & ramping, but enough of the pics...

I'm starting to get the hang of it now...
