Are any of you currently using a southbend CL145B lathe for gunsmith work? If so how do you like it? What type of bearings are utilized in the headstock?

I believe you are talking about a 13" South Bend with a 5' or so bed? I don't use one, but I know there are a lot of guys that use them for gun work. CL145B was a catalog number and most guys (including me) need to decipher it to know what it is.
