[QUOTE="JFComfort, post: 651921, member: 48023"] Here are some rifles Dane and I have put together. We have really been enjoying learning and working at getting better. We still have a long way to go, we both wish we would have gotten the lathe hooked up with a DRO. Our tooling wish list is long but we are slowly gathering them as we go. Right now for what Dane, Bill and I are doing the Grizzly is getting the job done. When I was in high school I took metal shop and got to learn a little bit on the lathe. After I had left school they closed down the shop classes and I wish I would have had the foresight and wisdom to buy one of the three lathes the school had.
