Hi Bill & Heinz
Just a short update... I have splurged and purchased an antique Atlas/Craftsman lathe... that is about 400 miles away... I will have to find a way to go pick it up... and then I will have to spend some time tweaking it so it will do accurate work after the move to VA... I am going to do this project myself instead of farming out the work.. It will take longer this way, but I think the satisfaction level will be much higher... I sold my gunsmithing power tools 15 years ago... and have regretted it ever since. Over the next couple of years I intend to own not only a lathe, but a milling machine... all powered by Computer Numerical Control (CNC)... I won't be building guns from scratch, but I hope to be pursuing some very interesting modifications... Stay tuned... this project is far from over.
