    Those would work but forgive me for my ignorance when you are using that type of collet holder what are you adjusting to dial in the action or barrel?

    Gunsmithing Just dreaming and looking at my screen

    I was at work. :-) I would probably break it before I was able to make anything but it would be a dream to have. I would make actions, bottom metal, cans and all kinds of things with it. I did a quick search and I was not able to find a price I am thinking if you have to ask you cannot afford it.

    Gunsmithing Let's talk Credit Cards

    So after having this service I am thinking about terminating my merchant account and not accepting credit cards anymore. I would like to hear opinions from others if it is really a deal breaker or not if a Firearms business does not accept credit cards.
