Hello gents,
I've been a lurker for a while and there's a tremendous wealth of info here. Thank you all for your knowledge sharing! I am getting ready to do my own barrel work and have some questions. I am using a mint grizzly g4016 13x40 lathe for my work. I have made my rear spider for the outboard spindle and have been threading barrels and doing odd ball work to get some experience. My question on the spider is, are you using it to actually indicate the muzzle when chambering or just give it some where to ride? I've talkedto some gents that use a fixture in the 4 jaw and don't indicate anything at whatever end is not being worked on at the time. I don't want to put undo stress on the barrel by tryin to make it straight where its not by using the spider? Any advice is appreciated.
Doug
