Now the lathe is fully repaired and running sweet with a brand new feed screw and nut in the cross slide, I can do things like this barrel thread repair 😁
The original threads were so chewed up, a brass sleeve with new threads was the only option.
Interference fit (but with locking compound to be extra safe), I can finally get the rest of the build finished off.
This also means I can start producing things like recoil weights again…
