    … that takes a specialize machine … not the typical engine lathe. You typically buy the gun barrel (already rifled) and machine it to the action … not actually making the barrel itself :O)

    Unlike (most) other machines a lathe can be accurately made by pattern casting, flat metal stock, a bit of hand work (ie scraping), and a few off the shelf parts like threaded rods/nuts/bolts.

    South bend lathes could originally be bought as a set of castings, rather than assembled machines. So if you can get the dimensioned drawings for the components you should make the castings yourself.

    for CNC just put stepper motors/encoders on the feed/hand wheel, and connect to PC (or similar)

    i want a lathe like that! but surly you could of done something more interesting than facing the barend and doing a small turn. how about thread cutting,boring. how come you didn’t use the lathe to chamfer the bar? instead you used a file which really gives a rubbish finish and not very safe. i am a cnc setter/programer so this is really old school for me.
