Otto,

The Emco Compact 8 is a wonderful piece of equipment, and I hate that they don't sell them here in the US anymore. It really leaves the Chinese machines in the dust, I can't even get the dial indicator to read the runout in the chuck (probably less than 1/4 thousands of an inch). I just need to convert it to variable speed and reversible lead screw, then it will be perfect. Say hello to the Emco guys and tell them to keep up the good work!

As far as the barrels go, I have no idea if the accuracy is affected or not. It's kind of irrelevant to me though, I came up this as an attempt to save an otherwise useless barrel. I'm thinking that it could be used if someone has a numbered barrel with a damaged sight post, wants to build a shortie, or (as the artillery barrel) if a previous owner has modified a barrel. I don't know if there's a need for this kind of service, but the tinkerer in me said that I just had to try it.
