[QUOTE="zoeper, post: 404528, member: 10682"] I would like to re-crown and thread one of my barrels and could do with some advice. My lathe only passes 3/4" through the headstock so i can not crown using a 4jaw and a spider on the back of the spindle. I want to clamp the chamber end in the 4jaw and run the muzzle end in a steady. doing it this way would make it impossible to set up concentric to the bore as opposed to concentric to the outside of the barrel. I was thinking that it might be better to set up with a tailstock center and cut the thread and shoulder first as well as Crowning the outer part of the muzzle. I can then fit a thread protector and cut the OD of the thread protector) smooth while running between centers and then do a recessed crown while running the steady on the thread protector. Any advice or comments apreciated Pieter [/QUOTE]
