I have a lathe, but I am pretty much a newb. I know basic stuff but how would you bore a barrel. How could you keep a bit or bar straight for 20"?? If I tried to make a hol that deep, something would go arye. Also, If anyone out there has any resources please advise. (always want to learn more.) I taught myself how to use the lathe on my own.
NOTE: I am not a rookie to guns. Have built several from parts, even made one from an 80%. Just getting into the major part of metalworking, not just assembling part. Thank You. |

That's not an operation you'll be able to run on a lathe. You need to build or buy a barrel drilling and rifling machine. As a start special drill bits are used drill the barrel out. The rifling procedure is a bit more complex. Have a look here to get a better idea of what you are trying to get into :)

Ohh, and here is a video you can order on how to build a rifling machine from scratch.
