Got Our Lathe In!

[338Shooter]

Tec-22 we threaded for a customer. This was a fun one. Gun is so simple to take down.

Good for you!

Very nice. I mostly make parts for antique metal lathes. Single point threading is one of my favorite operations to do.

Are you making thread protectors too?

 

[338Shooter]

Yes I can!

Got this MK II done. Waiting on the customer to tell me if he wants me to cold blue the "in the white" areas. Shortened to 4.5", relocated front sight, threaded 1/2-28, and made custom thread protector out of barrel stub I removed.

Looks great. Good idea for the thread protector.

No I don't, not right now anyway. That will probably change in the future, but for the immediate future we do not.

Nice work Dustin.

I wish I had more lathe knowledge, but I'm getting by so far on my 7x10 just having fun and trying not to break things.
