[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1364970, member: 24284"] Learning to operate a lathe and chamber a barrel will not teach you how to inlet and shape a stock, checker it, finish it,, install and fit a new DA sear in a S&W Revolver, re-time the cylinder, color case harden a shotgun action, polish a set of double gun barrels or a barreled action and then slow rust blue. There is[B][I] so much more[/I][/B] than fitting barrels to rifle actions. There are leaf springs to be made that can no longer be bought from suppliers, sights to be mounted on barrels, and parts to be made for repairs, and at times that might mean finding the right piece of material and using a hack saw, file and stones to make it. Try and fit, adjust, try and fit again until it is as it should be. The good "old school" gunsmith knows when and how to do 'hand work'. and is not afraid to do it! [/QUOTE]
