    I am a medically retired marine who started gunsmithing years ago

    I am a medically retired marine who started gunsmithing years ago.. I am trying to break more into the machining side of things now that I have larger machines, before i had a small benchtop lathe and mill now I have a logan lathe model 6565 14"x42" and a 3hp bridgeport complete restore. So I think I am now gonna convert my benchtop to CNC.. as a project.. I am a medically retired marine who started gunsmithing years ago-image.jpg

    Hi usmcdevildog,

    Welcome!

    Sounds like you've got a nice machining setup. What sort of gunsmithing projects do you like best?

    What are you working on currently?
