The best and most complete treatise available on building a traditional style rifling machine. There is also a section which describes how to convert a lathe which will enable it to turn extra long rifling guides. Heavy on the photographs and straight-forward explanations. Available in book format for $20, plus S&H.
Resource: Contemporary Longrifle Association Member You can visit Al's website at www.hootalrifleshop.org . His website is designed to be a tutorial guide for new builders. Check out the "Current Projects" page or thumb thru the "Photo Album" and select a gun. Some of the photos will open up and show you all the steps on how the gun was built from day one to completion.
