[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1509391, member: 24284"] There might be part of the cost he quoted. The headstock on most lathes (used for gunsmithing) is longer then 20". Thus, the barrel would need to be removed from the action. Removing a factory installed barrel may leave some marks in the finish. Some barrels remove fairly easily, some are a real bi&#h, even when the proper tools are employed. Then, with the barrel removed for threading between centers, the steady rest would need to be used to prevent chatter,,,,, maybe...….. A 'doughnut' can be turned and then affixed to the barrel for the steady to ride on, but there's another possible source for marking the finish. [/QUOTE]
