Very cool! This is the 1st time I've seen an operation done at the chuck and nof on center.

Randy, thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge for free for us here on youtube. Great manual machinists like yourself are getting fewer and farther between, and people my age and especially younger don't appreciate it enough. Thank you from the bottom of this 30 year old's heart!

Mr. Selby sir thank you for being honest and sharing all of your wisdom because calling knowledge does not even come close to describe what you do further more what you do is truly a lost art thank you sir sharing your wisdom with us.

I wish I had your wisdom. A lifetime of precision firearms and custom reloading. All I know is the the fundamentals of marksmanship, and how to float a barrel, besides the reloading part. I could learn a lot from you, and will continue to do so. Semper Fi

Randy, I noticed you didn’t put any oil on before you cut. Is there a reason why?
@TheRealGunsmith4 ай бұрын
I did apply oil. I always do. This is a two part and perhaps not 100% of the video shows everything, as it is very tight quarters for filming. Never cut without oil. Thanks for watching.

I like your videos and your experience on firearms,but a I little constructive criticism you need to clean your shop people might be drawn away from you working on there stuff with your shop looking the way it does

For such an experienced machinists u would really want to remove the junk u keep stock piling on top of your head stock and on the shelving above ur lathe chuck. U say u do precision work yet you are storing your precision micrometers on the headstock of your lathe which is a warm surface which will absolutely affect the tollerence of your measuring equipment. And before u start talking about ur 53 tears of experience, i am the owner of 3 tool and die companies

I agree cleanliness equals precision in any machine shop …48 years machining experience here
@Km-vl7xe Жыл бұрын
@Silver Fox he is constantly waffling on about his precision techniques and getting extremely defensive when questioned about his methods yet he uploads videos like this. A few degrees Celsius of temperature fluctuation on measuring equipment is enough to put tollerence right out the window, I have seen micrometers shift a few hundrets of a mm due to temperature and yet this expert has them thrown on the machine and is constantly declaring his ability to produce precision work. Its the only " precision shop" I have seen that has never used a dial indicator on his set ups, everything is based on assumption. Using a so called " true chuck", does he not realise that a piece of swarf stuck between his chuck jaws from his filthy workshop is enough throw his barrells well out of concentricity. I have 40 years of turning experience behind Me and I can safely say that his assumption of continuous accuracy from his machining and techniques is enough for me to question his abilities

I don't claim to know nothing about anything,as a matter of fact I'm retarded,,but I have to ask would the tool only change if going from cold to hot or hot to cold, and zero is zero if I keep it in the oven or in the freezer
