[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 825295, member: 35183"] Do you really believe the gun makers are using exotic gun drills ? When they use what is essentially a drill press to chamber ? I am quite willing to believe that for special applications the costly equipment might be justified but I don't see it when making "entry level" barrels that need to cost $50, and are more or less all the same length (mostly under 30"). I used to work for a resistance welding gun maker and the arms of the weld guns were bent from hard drawn chrome copper. We used to have those gun drilled over 6ft in length and the bores on them (while not called out) were smoother than a bunch of barrels one can buy at the LGS. [/QUOTE]
