    Gunsmithing Nice lathe fixture but ran into problem

    Re: Nice lathe fixture but ran into problem OH man that was easy on a Haas. My mills are Haas but the lathe is ProtoTrak with conversational programing and does not seem to have this feature. Sure wish it did that was too easy.

    Gunsmithing Opinions please on Barrel fluting and warping.

    Re: Opinions please on Barrel fluting and warping. I spoke with Chad Dixon at longrifles and he was of the same thought. Button formed barrels should most likely be left alone unless the Manufacturer did it in the process prior to drill,ream and form land/groove's.

    Gunsmithing Opinions please on Barrel fluting and warping.

    I am new to gunsmithing but 30 yrs as a tool maker in my own bussiness. I have always had to be concerned with things warping or twisting when cut so it seems to me fluting a barrel should have the same issue's. I suppose if all the stress relieving things were done by the barrel maker it...
