I would not buy one either since you have to tools and lathes abd knowledge to build one as good as you would pay several hundred dollars for.It a nice looking one.Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking project. Do you think you have less money in to making it versus if you bought it?
I'm assuming materials alone isn't exactly cheap.
For me, I didn't think your original post was to solicit sales... it seemed like someone who built something and was proud of showing it to everyone.

Nice job ! Just wondering if the one piece bushing is the way to go? surely for handling convenience it is.

It was never to solicit sales, hence the reason I did not ask people to contact me and did not say I was selling them. When people began to inquire, I honestly did not feel as if responding to them was going to be an issue, apparently I was wrong and now I know.
As far as what I have into it, FAR less than it would cost to purchase something similiar. Bennifits of having a full machine shop.

Honestly not sure.... Im going to say yes though as the bushing is made for a specific barrel shank and only has an additional .010" clearance for some drywall tape. I think if the bushings were generic and you had a bunch of extra space that was going to crush the bushing, then you would run into issues. I will make custom bushings as I need them, takes a min to change the cad for the ID and off the CNC turning center.

Nice job!! I'm a machinist!
I have a barrel vise and didn't have a place to mount it in the new house. My barrel arrived for my 1903-a4 build so I c-clamped it to my boat trailer and it worked. Nice vice hope it fits the boat trailer with out a lot of work. Buy the way I got my ptg reamer in only 5 months
I have used aluminum and steel bushings from Brownells. I use hockey stick tape versus electrical or painters tape on the barrel, it has additional thickness and better adhesion. If a bushing does not quite fit the bbl contour of the bushing use sheet lead or plain old flat lead decoy weight material to fill in the voids. It compresses nicely and seems to work in my experience.
FWIW.
