Over the months I've been doing 20 inch AR barrels, I had the TS dialed in to the HS, but I never measured the center part of the barrel until recently. Today just to see if what I saw before was repeatable, so I started another barrel for my own consumption for the upcoming match at the end of the month. It looks like the what I saw before is repeatable.
Could this fat in the middle be corrected by machine scrapping? Others suggested to just emery cloth the situation. Well, that is another art on its own. I tried it I could not get the material even the length of it.
The fat in the middle is not a critical dimension, but I would rather get it fixed if fixable. Again, this 1236 is an old Taiwanese lathe, it may very well be something I just need to live it.
The 6J is a set thru that I dial the barrel on the register that I turn during chambering. The barrel is screwed on to a long barrel extension and it is held in place by a copper ring to allow the barrel to pivot.
Thoughts?
