[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1836767, member: 2736"] I would recommend a good book to start with like the one Manson reamers sells from John Hinnant. [URL unfurl="true"]https://mansonreamers.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/january-2020-catalog-med-file-1.pdf[/URL] Without a mentor or formal training, be prepared to learn the hard way and make mistakes. If your project goes out of spec, don't use it for anything but training and you will be ok. I would recommend getting a metal lathe that Is large enough to do smithing and some practice steel to perfect the threading and chambering process if you want to do your own smithing. Buying a pre threaded and chambered barrel will not teach you how to smith, just to assemble. Also be prepared to spend many years learning the trade. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
