So I’m looking at the Hotchkiss and hmmmmmm... I’m thinking.
A 32” barrel. That’s great.
1.5” thick barrel That’s great.
What’s better than a 32” heavy barrel?
Nothing. But, wouldn’t it be nice to have a scope, so you could really see the ballistic performance out of that barrel?
The side of the receiver is already drilled and tapped for anti aircraft sights that I’ll never find, so scope mount here we go.
First is the layout
offset for clearance
Welding
surfacing
welding rail mount
grinding and polishing
Testing for zero
Hot bluing
Done
Done.
This is the condensed version, there was a huge amount of work into these.
What do you think?
