[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 552820, member: 24624"] You will most likely not be happy with the results. For that kind of money, you'd be better off buying a couple of Savage actions and pre-chambered barrels. ...or, playing with some of the hand tools available from Brownells. I was in your position about a year ago and bought a Grizzly g4003g gunsmith lathe. It's excellent for my purposes. But, I've spent more on tooling and instruments than on the lathe itself. ...although someone savvy could be much more frugal. With about $10k invested in lathe, tooling, instruments, materials, parts, books, and DVDs, I have 3 really nice rifles. This website was probably the best resource, and it's free. Each time I do a project, it costs a little less. But, I have yet to figure out how gunsmiths earn a living. They must just like what they do. Nonetheless, it's been great learning with and teaching my son and can't wait for him to take a deer with a rifle we built. -- richard [/QUOTE]
