[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1159671, member: 1290"] I don't think it's a very good idea to recommend an old wore out project to a guy who doesn't really know how to run it much less rebuild it. Very few good parts out there and parts with any meat left on the bone cost a bundle. I think it would be far better to recommend a new Taiwanese machine in the 2000+ pound weight class. They are really quite nice and should run a gunsmith for a couple generations. I like a 13" or 14" machines. A 40" between centers will allow some barrel profiling if desired. The 15 swing machines the chucks get super heavy super fast. [/QUOTE]
