Gents, here's your chance to get a copy of the APV production of Mike Miller an' me reaming and rifling a barrel with my wooden tools. In a hair over a half hour, you'll see one method of how we go about doing it here at Toad Hall Rifleshop. That rascally, ex-Marine helicopter pilot, Jim, even snuck in some footage of me screwing up at the end! This DVD was made to go along with our book on rifling, A Wooden Iowa Rifling Bench, now in it's expanded Second Edition. [Man, is my head gittin' big! Now that I'm wunna them suave movie stars, how'm I ever gonna fight off th' likes of Paris, Britney, an' Madonna? Ol' Toad Hall'll never be th' same!]

This video was filmed at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green by James Wright. Please check out Jim's website for all the latest particulars and schedules. I've included a link to his APV on the LINKS Page. You will find several additional photographs of the filming session, plus many other fine instructional movies available. Tell Jim & Karen I sent you.
Jim Wright, visionary, gun builder, current V-P of the Contemporary Longrifle Association, and CEO of American Pioneer Video and Mike Miller tend the bore of the barrel which is to be .48 caliber.
Here I'm cranking the wheel on the ol' Toad Hall drill/reamer and Mikes' supplying the muscle power to propel the barrel.

Since you're now pretty familiar with Mike's fanny perpendicular, here's a close up of his FRONT side. (Almost as good lookin' as me, eh?) Here he's pushing the barrel very slowly into the drill bit. Mike is one of America's finer rifle makers and one swell person. Glad I had the opportunity to work with him and sample his humble personality. An' you can bet your buttons that I wish I had his talents with wood and knife.
