[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2538719, member: 27307"] The answer is very simple: In the 12 years since the original post, the supply chain for used equipment has changed significantly. Surplus prices have risen while the supply has fallen then risen again with the demand for equipment and the number of shops going out of business. Higher prices for equipment drives the demand down when folks decide not to invest in their dream of having their own shop to barrel their own rifles. Technology has changed significantly also. Never before has the idea of buying into a CNC lathe been easier and more easily understood. There is now a used or surplus market for CNC mills and lathes which can be downright affordable. The tooling and other accoutrements will have more of an impact on the buyer. So a continuation of the original responses helps keep up with the short history of the question. :) [/QUOTE]
