[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 825179, member: 35183"] I think I can understand why people may want to build their own equipment at those prices... A gun drill is basically a 1 axis machine with a special high pressure cooling/lube system. A honing machine is similar except for not needing the high pressure lube + very specialized hones. A button puller is another 1 axis machine with highly custom tooling. A real cut rifling machine is getting closer to a real 3 axis machine. All of the above need to be temperature controlled because of the close tolerances and staying on top of tool condition is everything and each individual step in the process has to be right. Drill Blanks oversize and then you get barrels like the Savage example that has been shown. Each and every one of them should be replaced - no questions asked. [/QUOTE]
