[QUOTE="screech, post: 1219075, member: 5135"] Do able yes. Time consuming for sure on a manual lathe. Honestly it wouldn't be even that hard to do but what would take 5 minutes of CNc time to contour and cut threads and feed ramp would take hours on a manual lathe. Or at least it would for me. Maybe a big gear head lathe could do it faster but the problem will be trying to contour a barrel without a moveable/programmable steady rest the barrel is going to want to chatter real bad if you're taking heavy cuts. Who ever made your barrel may be willing to recontour it possibly. Not sure though. [/QUOTE]
