[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1540660, member: 104268"] Couple of beers and a hot bath? Seriously though, what steps would be required to "stress relieve"? Definitely not a machinist. I've done a number of small parts for various work/personal projects, but nothing serious. The chuck that's normally on the machine is similar to the images I get by googling "independent 4 jaw", but I think there's six, and all the jaws move at once. I'm pretty sure they can be adjusted independently to ensure center, though. There might be a 4 jaw independent one in the accessories though. I'll investigate. I'd planned to use a dial indicator to check runout before I gave it a try regardless. Something along those lines is my fallback option. I don't think I could sell my barrel for much, as it's been duracoated and used hard. [/QUOTE]
