[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1067087, member: 2736"] +1 When I started out I was not allowed to turn on a machine until a real machinist/craftsman checked out the set up. If everything was correct, I was allowed to make the part. I was also taught how to tool up for soft metals like brass and aluminum because they take a totally different set up in tooling and speed. Looking at the pictures of the damaged scope base, it looks like he placed the breach in a 3 or 4 jaw chuck and used the steady rest to hold the muzzle. (His Lathe may not have a large enough spindle to fit the barrel through and work the end. I don't want to gang Up on this guy, But he made lots of bad decisions and the quality of the work suffered. The hard part for some is realizing there ability/skill and turning down work that they cannot do or that they don't have the equipment to do a good job. Just Ok is not good enough in Gun Smithing and a man has to know his limitations. It takes time and practice to get good at some things, But one should never practice on other peoples rifles. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
