Forging a Pistol Barrel

Recently Brad has been working on a hand forged wrought iron pistol barrel. The barrel started it's life as a flat bar of iron and has been skelp welded into a useable tube. In these photos Brad is working on forging the octagon flats on the barrel and jumping the breach to increase the rate of flare. Next up the barrel will be ready for boring and reaming before proofing.
