No, not dug up in the pig sty, but maybe the same result. After the "Henry" build last year, I thought of really courting failure by building a Farquharson clone. Good a time as any to start, winter here in Canada. Warned Ya! Anyway, started with a couple of pieces of 4140. Got out the square drill and went at it.  Hope to keep at it, and will update as I ...uh.. "progress". Enjoy

Where in the tool crib do they keep the square drill bits, I wonder? next to the USN's Sea-Bees stash of sky hooks and shore line for towing perhaps. You Canadians sure have strange machine shop techniques, but at least AISI (is there a CISI) 4140 nickel chrome moly with 40 points of heat treatable carbon is a good choice, Ey?? Hope to keep at it, and will update as I ...uh.. "progress". Enjoy

I would have used EDM but we aint invented it here yet...LOL
Now I may have to start over!
No CISI but there is CISC - deals with Construction steel.
Oh, it aint "EY", ya know, like, it's "Eh"!

This is where the much maligned shaper shines.

Ja, reel gut dere- guess I've been watching my two "Cabin Feverwinterbound older movies too often" -- The Shinning and FARGO--Construction and metal fab steels are a tad different than 4140--but ferrous metals and codes and std. machining practices are pretty straight-forward-- No EDM machines in the great lands of: Walleye, Hockey and great beers?? Shame, that. One of my shooting pals has a fairly complete machine shop-- and he has a EDM--just don't ask him to "punch out" relief ports with it in the muzzle area of the barrel of your Weatherby shoulder-breaker--

Yup, the old square dri..er.. EDM does a really neat job. Hopefully it will turn into a receiver. FYI, this is my 3rd - search under my handle for a "silly webley henry" and "henryish". Thats a real nice looking square hole. That is the receiver?

Starfire,
Have followed your builds and look forward to this one. You do nice work and progress faster than most. There are some of us who have whittled actions from bar stock. A recent one is a Ballard on the ASSRA forum. Harry Eales (I will pull his chain again) developed a method of putting square pegs in round holes that works very well. Basically, using the mill as a vertical shaper. You can square up the corners faster than you can set up a shaper.
