I have a lot more barrels than frames but once I started machining and welding my own, it got a lot cheaper.

Zombie thread is back! Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Can you share more details on this process? Any tips, tricks, measurements, or materials of note? I will likey be buying a Contender, G2, or SSK-50 in the near future, and machining/welding my own is what I would like to do. I am younger than most of you folks most likely (36) but I can forsee some enjoyment for years to come on this playfor. I have a lathe and mill (which I am still very green on) and I currently am learning to TIG weld. Over Covid I got into reloading and casting, so pairing it all together just makes sense.
