Okay, I admit it, I have become addicted to MidwayUSA’s gunsmithing videos and just had to share another one (for now, more to come later). In this one, Midway USA’s own Larry Potterfield breaks down drilling and re-lining a .22LR barrel using a custom blank. He makes it look easy. Outside of the lathe, everything he shows in the video is (of course) offered at Midway.

I may just have to send him a classic Steven’s 22LR that my grandpa gave me who’s barrel is in the same shape.
