[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 1685950, member: 110787"] My gunsmith bought brand new Precision Matthews lathe and end mill. After three years I started thinking I wanted to give fitting my own barrels a try...I asked him what his thoughts were. He said if he was buying today (this was a little over a year ago) that he'd buy the grizzly over the PM and reason is parts. He'd been waiting on the light and cover for over three months...fortunately it wasn't anything that kept the machine from running but he said grizzly would've sent him the part in a week. I bought the grizzly, I'm no gunsmith or machinist but I've had to order parts twice (dumb parts previous owner screwed up) and never waited more than a week. Something to think about. [/QUOTE]
