And finally onto the cap...no clip on this...


Face off and centre drill. Then drill for cap threads and to full depth of cap. I think it's an 11.4mm drill bit but I can't make out the size anymore!  Then a very shallow drilling with 31/64 bit so that the cap will thread up snugly to the body...



Next turn down the barrel to final width and then reverse in a smaller collet and do top end of barrel...



Then using a jam chuck mandrel final shaping and sanding...
