Answers: How do you machine the barrel and top rail for a Hellboy Samaritan prop replica?

• Hellboy Samaritan sidearm barrel fabrication
• Aluminum milling and drilling techniques
• Machining gun parts on a milling machine
• Top rail fabrication for prop replica

What it concludes

• Drilling long holes from both ends with a half-inch drill bit provides a more consistent central alignment in aluminum stock.
• Making multiple passes while pulling off small amounts of material during milling produces a more precise and square result.
• Cutting the narrow alignment lines on the top rail first ensures precision before cutting the rest of the piece to size.
