[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2654065, member: 17722"] I agree, very capable. Though I have the 1440 and 1236, for fun I decided to use it to do a couple of M14 barrels from 1.25 blanks. One 308 and the other 338 Fed. Just have to be creative in sequencing and workholding. To cut the correct breech reliefs for the bolt, I mounted an old Moroso timing plate on the outboard side of the spindle and a pointer. For cutting, I mounted a pencil grinder on the compound tool post at the correct angle and went to town. [/QUOTE]
