My father's day treat to me.
A friend called me and made me aware of this lathe for sale at a garage sale. Absolutely mint condition. The poor fellow bought it and 2 years later passed away. His widow gave me such a great deal on it with 2 - 3 jaw chucks, a 4 jaw chuck, a face plate with several dogs, lots of never used tooling, change gears, etc. A nice addition to my smaller lathe/mill combo, the stock duplicator. This will now allow me to chamber heavy barrels. Can't wait to sit behind it to the wee hours of the morning.

That will likely be something with a Bob Jury barrel. Probably a 6.5 Cm or a 6.5x47. But whatever it is, it will have a stock made of something absolutely striking.

Nice find, its good to be lucky,
I hope to move my new to me lathe this week.
What is your make and model?
What is the yellow wheel near the left outboard end of the spindle?
Good Luck, YMMV.
