Using an angle grinder with cutoff disk, a drill press, bench grinder, files and hand tools and a wire welder, parts are cut of scrap steel, and then combined with the used gun barrel to build a homemade 6 shot pistol. The process is detailed step-by-step giving a logical approach to the build.A method for surface hardening and tempering is detailed, and finally the firearm is finished and tested.
