Title: Need a barrel finished on a lathe
Post by: angrybear on June 20, 2023, 12:54:16 PM

Is there anyone who could just dress the end of my .22 MFR barrel ?
bought it used & a previous oner has tried to machine the end, but done a piss-poor job,
The spindle bore of my Myford 7 won't take it & it's not long enough to go right through, just need it making flat & smooth.
thanks

I believe it's only 7/16" bore, which is a PITA.
