How is this different than any normal lathe? It looks like any old lathe that I used in a machine shop 20 years ago.

I used a Pratt and Whitney lathe that was world war 2 surplus to do dozens of barrels over the years.
Cost? around $200 complete.
You simply need to go to a few machine shops and ask around.
The old man I bought this one from charged pretty much just to deliver it.
He trained me in his shop on guns for him, think of it as free training.
Again, find a MACHINE SHOP, not a gun place, and ask around.

@suar08161991 Great. Yeah, it probably was one of those since no one ever used it.

@suar08161991 I think it would be pointless to hoard one of these machines. You would really have to try to break it.
Also works fine for making aircraft, boat, auto, truck, bike, locomotive, conveyer, elevator, escalator, pump, generator, engine, press, jack, turntable, compressor, crane, telescope, microscope, turbine, tractor, trailer, boiler, hydraulic, electrical, plumbing, pneumatic, printing, missile, farming, fishing, mining, agricultural, forestry, packaging, mixing, dental, medical, molding, clothing, cooking, baking, printing, photography, sports, space station, and computer, parts and equipment.

@UpcomingJedi Its the 2500. Not the student though. It's a great lathe, even though it was not specificly built to build rifles.
