[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2436063, member: 68758"] Exactly. Or, shims of correct thickness. Covered in the manual, download right from the website. You could also make or buy a blueprinting jig (like Pastor's)- used more for receivers and bolts but they can also be used for short barrels. Taper-bored "extensions" over the muzzle long enough to reach an outboard spider also work. I was thinking about integrating an NPT fitting at the end of the thick, threaded tube- and tap the muzzle end of a shorty for it. This would allow me to use the chamber flush system, and add the length needed to reach the outboard spider. Even though I have a short headstock lathe, anything under 20" causes me the same issues as a typical length barrel on a long-headstock machine. I've read where some simply make bushings that ride inside their spindles and slip over barrel OD, but I'm not clear on how you'd be able to accurately dial in the chamber with that method. Lots of ways to skin that cat, like most operations we do. [/QUOTE]
