Gorton Pantograph Engraver pantomill size P1-2. Weighs 640 pounds, 4 foot high. Can be broken down for transport. Made of cast iron and steel. 110v single phase. In 1997 the base machine was $16,098. I’m asking $1,700.00 for the used machine. Pick up only. No shipping available.
It operates by tracing the letters and numbers, cutting them into the part.

Top; Unmarked double action 10 guage, with 12 guage adaptor. I was told that it was used by
     the US Navy, but I can't find a Navy mark on it. If you know, please inform me.
Center; British Very flare pistol, WWII, has a lug on the barrel like a bayonet, to lock it in place in the
    plane, directing it in a safe direction for the swordfish & gladiator biplanes so it wouldn't hit a
    bracing wire or a strut. The didn't call the plane a string bag for nothing.
    There's a report of pilot officer Stuckey downing a Italian SM70 bomber over Mersa Matruh with

Rifle Barrels:
Some of these barrels use a locking nut like a Savage 110 rifle. You don't need a lathe or chambering reamers to fit those barrels. You thread the barrel in to the receiver using a headspace gauge for the proper setting and then tighten the barrel nut to lock the barrel in place. Deep chambered barrels use a lathe to face material off the chamber end of the barrel to get proper headspace. Short chambered barrels are threaded into the receiver and, using a reamer extension, you can hand turn the reamer to cut the chamber the little bit that is necessary to get proper headspace.

CHANGING A REVOLVER'S BARREL:
Removing & installing a barrel will not damage the gun when done in this manner.
The barrel is clamped in wooden blocks. You can put plastic wrap around the barrel to prevent scratching the finish. If the barrel has a lug or extended shroud, just plain wood blocks will keep it from rotating. If it is a round, tapered barrel, without a lug you can contour the wood blocks to fit the barrel so that it will not rotate. (If it's a pinned barrel, remember to remove the pin.) click on pictures to enlarge

The tool for holding the revolver frame clamps it from either side so the frame cannot twist in the thin area of the crane cut out.
You can make a tool, as pictured here,
or purchase one from Brownell's.

The frame tool is clamped to the revolver's frame.
You can put black electrical tape on the tool, where it contacts
the frame, to prevent marring the finish. The barrel can be
unscrewed with this set up.

MUZZLE COUPLING for rimfire pistol and rifle. The pictured coupling is on a Ruger Std. Auto, it is attached and removed easily because the lockrings secure it behind the front sight. With 1/2-20 or 1/2-28 thread $35., plus shipping. For more information click on the following words: muzzle couplings

Motorcycles: Benelli/Wards 50cc; Honda CB100/125,
Yamaha DT1, Suzuki 50,80& 120 models; M10,M12,M15,M30,M31,K10, B100. Villiers engines or Villiers engined motorcycles. I'm looking for parts or parts bikes or complete motorcycle if priced within my range.

I mention motorcycles because we guys swap and trade guns and motorcycle and fast cars, etc., because it's so much cheaper than trading wives, cause every time you get a new wife, you have to buy them a new house. So if your wife complains about you spending money on your guns, or other hobbies, tell her that your saving the marriage.
