[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1625189, member: 107749"] I Hope you find someone to help you out. I was a young E-1 in the military a few hundred years ago and couldn't afford gunsmiths. I checked out a lot of library books, our base library was well stocked. I bought a few books here and there as well. Ebay is a good source. I finally bought a cheap lathe and set it up in a storage building. They frowned on machinery in the dorms. I bought a few junk guns from pawn shops. 93 Mausers are a great learning tool. I've been doing it now for nearly 40 years. Chambering a barrel isnt rocket science, it just takes a lot of attention to detail. Keep things straight and running true. All you're doing is drilling a really straight hole. Another route is to find a prethreaded, short chambered barrel and you can finish the chamber by hand easy enough. For about 50 bucks you can rent a reamer and headspace gauges. Good luck, dont take any crusty comments to heart. Stupid is everywhere, just ignore it. [/QUOTE]
