    Very nice. I see it spinning so you did not hand crank. About what did you run the RPM when cutting the threads?

    So...even though the Rugged Obsidian is technically still in jail, it is time to thread the HK USC 45 acp carbine barrel.....

    The barrel is only 16 inches and will not reach my outboard spider through the headstock on the lathe. On my Granddaughter's rifle (above) I used some round aluminum stock and bored a hole and fitted the end of the barrel in it. It worked well...

    The end of the USC barrel is not round, so I came up with this idea for a work around to make it long enough....

    I took some steel stock and turned it down just undersize of the lands (0.441) ahead of the 0.441 cut for the lands and then a cut for the chamber (0.476). Milled slots for the feed ramp and the small ramp on top of the barrel.

    I will thread it tomorrow and post the results.......
