The project has started. Relining an old 1859 Sharps carbine to 50-70

Thank you for posting that, sir.  I always enjoy your work and reports.  That kind of ability is far beyond me, so I get vicarious satisfaction from "watching" people who are more able than me.

Not much left toward the muzzle!  I'd say you got all the old liner out.

Nope! Not much left in the muzzle.  This liner was much thicker than most. I dare say you could use it all by itself for a black powder barrel.

I had an ERMA Gallagher that I had relined to .50. Shot very well at 50 yds. Kinda wish I'd kept it now .....

I realized an error in the article.

I called out Loctite 270 and you should use Loctite 620. I corrected it.

Sorry

I have a relining project that I am working towards.  I was wondering what you made the drill bit extension out of?  I assume it is a mild steel rod that is a little smaller diameter than the bit, and threaded on one side?

The extension was made from a length of drill rod. I did not harden it do it wasn't brittle.
