[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2996159, member: 116240"] I didn't start cutting my barrels until about 2 1/2 years ago. Started doing it on a friends lathe in a machine shop. I ordered my own equipment, tooling, measuring tools, barrel blanks, reamers etc about a year ago. Insulated a 50x50 section in my 100x50 shop, put AC/Heat in it. The prefit is from them that I never mounted from back then. It's just been sitting in the shelf. It's the only reason I didn't call them about it. Actually there are two other prefits up there that I need to get rid of. But when my uncle said 22 Creedmoor I remembered I had that barrel. Had a defiance action I could have used by that was out of the questions. Such a crappy job. The two other prefits are a 7mm 24" proof and a 28 nosler 24" proof. Need to sell them. I'm very anal and a perfectionist. Way too much such so that I spend hours in the shop at night trying new things, playing with ideas, making things to make chambering easier and more accuracy. It's a hobby really for me for a long time. I have recently applied for my class 7 FFL. I have so many people asking me now to build them a rifle. It starting only chambering barrels for them. But I want to be legal and may make a retirement business out it. I own a construction company and that's my main deal. Done well with and it bores me really so not sure how kuch longer I'm going to do it. If all I had to do was operate a bulldozer or excavator all day I would probably die in one. But I think I'd rather die working in the shop making things shoot lasers for people. Now there's my story. [/QUOTE]
