[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 965345, member: 1290"] Having your own lathe will not get you the reamer or the barrel one day faster than someone that doesn't have one. If a gunsmith wrecks your barrel it doesn't cost you anything but some time. When you wreck one you are out $350 and another 16 weeks. Even if you don't do anything wrong a reamer can just blow up and jam metal into your chamber walls and the barrel is scrap. If I didn't do I rifles for a living there is no way I could or would justify $50,000 in the stuff needed to build decent rifles. I would just pay my $300 and play with my other toys till the new one was done. There are lots of good smiths with less than 90 day turn around. [/QUOTE]
