[QUOTE="shooter#42, post: 338928, member: 9368"] do yourself a favor. stay away from old american iron unless you have a real good person with knowledge that will check it out with you. the old iron can be nice but you will learn alot about restoring and old lathe or pay alot to someone to do it. i have an old sheldon so i know what can be involved. a fellow around here has an enco, not one of the better imports, but he can use it effectively. will it last in a production setting, i don't think so but really how much work can a hobby gunsmith do.
