Hey at least with those flats cut on it you can hold it in the vice real good :thumbsup:

Holy shit!

I imagine you're using the feed mechanism to get a nice uninterrupted pass and not moving the carriage by hand? Doesn't seem to be much you can't do with that lathe... :)

Nice curls peeling off there HB. :) I still am in awe of you making your action parts using your lathe like a mill.

Today I saw gunsmith John Hall's home made rifling machine. Very similar setup...

Ha ha, interesting you should say that, I saw John Brownings rifling setup at the Browning museum in Ogden Utah. It used a wooden rod about 5 foot long, from memory, with a single slow twist thread...

How long does it take to do one pass with the cutter?

What mates up with that O-ring? Something to do with keeping coolant or cutting lube in somewhere? Bloody cool stuff, really liked all your sprockets etc set up on the lathe for your last barrel....
