Chuck, I will let someone else answer the indexing question, but I would like to make a suggestion. Use the finest thread screws you can find. A nudge on a fine thread will move the barrel less than a nudge on a course thread. This is helpful when you get down under a .001". Also with a fine...

Congratulations Bill The US will be well represented.

Doug, I agree with the way you did it with paper. I have a bar I made under size twice the thickness of the paper and it works very well. It is much faster than lapping and the clean up is easier.

The 1236 Birmingham does have a oil reservoir with sight glass in the carriage.

I have a Birmingham YCL-1236GH lathe. I have been happy with it and would buy again. If you start looking close you will find the controls, shape of the tail stock, and other things looks just like a G4003. I thing they may be made at the same factory. I bought mine from Bills Tool Crib...

Jackie if it was me I would find a FAA repair shop with a Magnaflux machine and a certified operator to have those bolts checked before I used them again.

Rolf You say you are going to Washington. If that is Washington state Pac-Nor Barrels is in Brooking Oregon.

Joe I had the same type of thing happen to me. I bought a new Remington and never new the barrel had a group of pits 1/2 way down until 3 years later when I bought my bore scope.

Ray, licking your mouse has been a closely guarded secret that will cut you group size by 50%. Thanks for the correction Dave

Gentlemen I came across an interesting find at the WESTEC show in Los Angeles this week. The WESTEC show, for those who don’t know, is the west coat machine tool show. I found a company that makes a reasonably priced camera that fits on a Hawkeye bore scope and plugs into the USB port on you...

As I remember When UPS made their change to overnight shipping only on handguns they had caught a delivery driver stealing the guns. In my area the same driver picks up and delivers both over night and ground shipments. What did they gain except money out of my pocket into theirs?

I bought the one from Richards Custom Rifles. Money well spent, if you can't bed a Remington after watching this you never will. http://richardscustomrifles.com/instructionalvideos.htm

Check McMaster-Carr they have everything

Be careful you can buy an old lathe to do hobby gunsmithing and before you know it fixing the old lathe becomes your hobby. Buy the Grizzly or something like it. I bought a Birmingham, looks like it came from the same factory, and have been happy.

Mickey, I think you did a great job

Make sure you get the paperwork that shows when the item was bought, and a bill of sale. Warranties go with the merchandise not the buyer
