    Gunsmithing Any way to run a barrel in a steady rest without marring the bluing?

    Gunsmithing Any way to run a barrel in a steady rest without marring the bluing?

    Screw it.. Imma just stop the press and make a universal barrel spider. I'll certainly use it in the future. I have/had just let this customer get under my skin. Its my name on the line. By my own default, I'm going to do it right. The customer can just eat.....avocados.

    Gunsmithing Any way to run a barrel in a steady rest without marring the bluing?

    Thanks for trying for me. That's essentially the tool I tried to rent from 4D rentals, to no avail, due to the jerk @ 4D rental. To buy the tool out right is $100ish dollars.....and I've already lost my are on this job.

    Gunsmithing Any way to run a barrel in a steady rest without marring the bluing?

    Gunsmithing Torqueing down Muzzle Brake?

    Always go by torque spec. if you don't have specs and can't get them, just snug it. and call it good. its not hard to stretch the end of the barrel with the mechanical advantage of threads. Obviously this is more of a concern with smaller barrels, but still. I've seen this accuracy issue with...

    Bro I wasn't giving you a hard time. I get that you have not done it yet. And you quoted no times, for yourself, in your OP..so My response wouldn't apply to you from that angle either. My response was pertaining to time quotes or units/day that showed up in others comments. While you are...

    Gunsmithing Need advice from Master Gunsmiths

    I'm surprised at the machining times stated here. I must be faster than your average lathe man. But I was a manual machinist for over 20 years....they crack the whip over you every single day because the quicker you can get the part done the more profitable it is to the shop owner.
