I am interested in making my own barrel for a project gun. I was wondering if anyone has made their own barrel in the past and would be willing to help teach me/ make sure I perform all of the steps correctly?
I have already taken a lathe class and am working on basic lathe skills on metal scraps to make sure that I can perform all of the required functions to within the required tolerances. I am planning on utilizing a straight bull barrel for my first barrel and was hoping to thread the barrel for a break. I was planning on buying a reamer rather than renting to make sure I can practice all of the steps prior to performing them on an actual barrel.
