    Who beside Sirh has one and uses it for barrel work? I’m really close to picking one up. It’s not a small investment so I want to hear the good and bad that people have to say about it.
     
    Got my eye on one now not too far from me (which is rare). Not skilled enough to do barrel work but would enjoy trying to get it running again.

    Geno,
    You might want to get in touch with Jackie Schmidt from Accurate Shooter.
    He's run a marine machine shop in Texas for the last 40+ years.
    If anyone would have a user's opinion, it would be him.

    i had one. but the head stock is long and not the best[for me atleast] easy to use a spider to hold the barrel centered. If you were to make bushing to fit the headstock thru hole and barrel dia. then I think would work.
     
    Ended up with a clausing colchester 15”
