Powered up my new to me Standard-Modern 1340 lathe for the first time today. Once I figure out how to wire up the reversing switch, I'll be able to set it up in its permanent spot. Need some more tooling - a four jaw chuck in particular - but then will be ready to do barrel work again. Lathe is 13" swing, 40" centres, 1 1/2" spindle bore, so it will be able to handle most any barrel smaller than a .50. Haven't had access to a barrel sized lathe for a year and a half.
Could have bought a number of interesting rifles for what it cost.....
