    Gunsmithing what lathe to start with

    Re: what lathe to start with "Having said that, I think any machining is the operator, its in the set up and measuring." That is 100% right on. I've seen shoddy work off top notch machinery by mediocre "operators", and top notch work off "mediocre" machinery by skilled journeymen.

    Gunsmithing AICS recoil lug slot; why can't I go deeper?

    Re: AICS recoil lug slot; why can't I go deeper? The old axiom of "modifying the least expensive part" has always made sense to me. I'd hazard a guess that the recoil lug would more'n likely fit that criteria.

    Gunsmithing Changing 308 barrel to shoot 7.5x55?

    Re: Changing 308 barrel to shoot 7.5x55? You can open the neck of a .284 win with a 30 cal mandrel and you'll have a 7.5x55 with a rebated rim that will run quite well in a standard bolt face. I've done this to two of my 700's, and have won matches with both.
