  • Do we have anyone with a lathe?

    I need to reprofile a saiga 12 barrel. Anyone on the board have a metal lathe capable of turning an 18" barrel?

    If you are trying to shorten it and square up the cut I got you covered. If you are trying to change the OD on the entire length I can not.

      It's actually both. I need to re-profile the OD about 4" back to the chamber so I can relocate the gas system and cut the barrel down to 8".

          Can't help you either but would love to see pics of the build / modification process. Love seeing that stuff with guns, always gives me ideas.
          I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

            Hack it down close to the final length and then throw it in a smaller machine for finishing and the OD change?

              I'd like to get the gas block relocated so I can take the barrel down in increments to test the gas system for the proper pressures.

                    Yep. It's the one tool I don't own and it fucks me every time.

                        Think you could turn a barrel down for me?

                          I need details, what's the OD? Is it populated? Is it tapered? What exactly do you want done?

                              Sorry bud, just been busy with work and family. I can pull the barrel and would remove the gas block. It is tapered back to the chamber, just behind the factory gas block location. For some reason, almost no one depopulates the barrel when doing it. I have the tools to do this, but I'm curious if there's a reason.
