Tangent to the 4 year old "chamber my own barrels" thread.
I want to eventually be able to turn my own barrels. I also want to make other widgets around the home shop.
Pretend you have 10k budget for just the machine (no tooling) and aren't interested in searching for something used. What would you be looking at? The PM1440GT seems to be popular, but grizzly has "gunsmith" lathes that run 4-6k. Grizzly also has a modern SB Heavy 10.
