no, we have always done all our own cylinders and barrels

This way I know we are getting the quality our customers need and expect. Here are some pics of our shop with the cylinder blanks and barrel blanks.
First some of the equipment, mills and lathes. We have added 3 new lathes and 1 new mill since the pics were made. It is a machine shop, so don't expect clean and neat.
This is one of our milling machines that we build our TC barrels and rifle barrels on.

This is our second milling machine that we build our cylinders on from scratch..

the newer mill

A small lathe that we use for making base pins and small stuff

Several other lathes. The straps on a couple of them were to move the lathe a bit over to one side to give us a bit more room.We have 2 full machine shops so all this equipment is not crammed into one place. We have over 3000 square feet of machine shops.
