[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 1837555, member: 111667"] Don't feel like you need a ton of money. I bought an Eisen (same as PM) for $4k new. Bought about $1k in tooling, much of which was HSS that just sits since I like inserts better for 99% of what I do(another story). Definitely could have saved there. Lots of good deals for used tool holders on ebay. Chinese cheapo inserts and tool holders actually work well for the size of stuff we do. You can spend $5k on a build pretty quick ... Takes a long time to be a great all around gunsmith, BUT it doesnt take long to specialize with rem 700s or another brand. Took me about 2 months with my new lathe before I chambered my first carbon barrel. Still have the rifle and it shoots great. [/QUOTE]
