Homemade Rolling Block Rifle: 22 Hornet

4 days ago
97

This is another one of my homemade guns. I built this single shot rifle less than one year ago. This single shot rolling block action rifle is chambered in 22 Hornet. I’ve always been intrigued by the rolling-block action and really wanted one in an odd caliber like the 22 Hornet. The barrel was a Shilen unturned blank (1:16 twist) match barrel that is approximately 22 inches long. The stock has a boiled linseed finish on American Walnut. The forward stock has finger groves and is probably too long. The stock has a grind to fit Pachmayr buttpad and the gun is fitted with a 9x Leupold Scope. The rifle locks up mechanically via the rolling block design and the extractor is an older manual style. The gun uses a simple trigger mechanism inside homemade trigger housing with a half cock option. The all of the metal is coated using Brownells oxpho-blue. This has been a fairly accurate gun, with some 100 yard groups at 1 MOA. I have several other homemade guns, if this is something you like please let me know and I will make more videos. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. Thanks, be safe and God bless.
