Lathe work recommendations?

[NorincoKid]

Good morning.

Anyone know of a good place or person doing lathe work in the (preferably) west central FL area?

I have a shortened Mauser I'd like to have the last 1.25" or so of the barrel diameter tuned down to accommodate a front sight base. Probably a super easy job its just a bit too long to fit in some of the smaller hobby lathes I've tried. Thanks

Look for a hobby lathe that has a pass through in the chuck. You won't be limited to length. I don't know about the new ones, but the old Grizzly/Harbor Freight benchtop lathes had this feature.

I tried it on a smaller hobby lathe, the barrel was too thick to pass through unfortunately. Don't remember the brand though.

Wow. Shows how much I've been paying attention.

I'll miss Ross though.
