[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2681515, member: 24284"] I have got turned blanks from Hart. The diameters are correct, the steps are long so you have leeway . I just don't have the time and I could not get paid for turning from a 1'- 1 1/4" straight blank. I agree with the not leaving a sharp edge at the rifling. Was taught 45yrs+ ago that a sharp edge will crack or break before a beveled or radiused edge will. The lesson then was concerning HS tooling, but it carries over into many applications. [/QUOTE]
