byjovecarruthers Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm not a fan of men wearing wedding rings; it's a modern fad. Does your wife really want a wedding ring made out if an old gun barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felly100 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 You could get two empty cartridges,maybe a blue 12g for you or 8g if you're a big lad and a 20g or 28g for your wife,chop an inch off both and hey presto job done.

smig4373 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) ..I've just had 1 made from damascus barrell..for the average size finger..size y..which is roughly 22mm...you have to use the chamber end and have it lapped out...you need to make a jig/die to hold the barrell in the lathe..I'm on my second 1 now, ballsed the 1st 1 up..you also need to consider how your going to retain/regain the external pattern...it's not quite as straight forward as you'd imagine Edited March 21, 2014 by smig4373 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
