    Gunsmithing Short barrels and the lathe???

    Last night I got a wild hair up my ass about making a short(18-20") light weight 6.5creedmoor rifle out of my spare parts bin. I had all these grand plans in my mind but when it came time to fit the barrel in the lathe it was too short to cover the span from the 4jaw chuck to the rear spider...
