[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1066802, member: 2736"] If he does, he doesn't know how to make it a finished job or doesn't care. A good Gunsmith would not leave it looking like that. There is a lot more to being a good Gunsmith than being able to turn a Lathe on and cut something. Craftsman ship is a big factor in the end results and a good craftsman would never except ''Good enough". If you know how to sharpen a lathe tool you can get a finished cut without any sanding, filing or lapping. All HSS and carbide tools are much harder than any barrel steel and should not have any trouble cutting them if they are sharpened correctly. Some grades of steel are harder to cut than others but if you use a properly sharpened tool at the right speed and position/angle to the work it should come out finished. I don't know, and don't want to know who did the work. but like the others said go somewhere else to get your gun work done. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
