[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 2565564, member: 65116"] I was born in the wrong century so my work is primitive. I buy barrel blanks from Shilen, keep track of the stamped end so it always becomes the chamber end, I cut at least one inch off each end of the barrel, center drill both ends and then do profiling and threading between centers. I tie the lathe dog to the headstock plate so the barrel remains tight against the center while the chamber end is supported by the stready rest during chambering. I set the chamber depth with reference to the NOGO gauge bevel. All of my barrels use barrel nuts to set the headspace. They shoot mighty fine. [/QUOTE]
