    That is perfect! I will start there, first things first. I have to read these manuals, so I have some know how.

    Barrel Lathe used for Gunsmithing, $3500, Rocky Mountain House, AB

    So Have 3 copies of the "Kirloskar Western Lathe - Instruction & Spare Parts Manuals" and a Spare Parts Booklet. I can scan them if you'd like and digitally organize them and email them too you. If you need it in a certain format, I can definitely do that as well. :)

    Barrel Lathe used for Gunsmithing, $3500, Rocky Mountain House, AB

    I just removed the ad for the MK Standard lathe due to my own misinformation surrounding it. I have cleaned them both up and have left the southbend ad up for $2000. I am just not sure that $7,500 is realistic for the kirloskar. From what I have personally researched, it hits near $2,500...

    Barrel Lathe used for Gunsmithing, $3500, Rocky Mountain House, AB

    It's me, I'm the grandson. I myself am not too familiar with metal working and anything relative to the gunsmithing field that it was used for. He asked me to sell it for him because he is no longer in need of it, due to personal heath reasons. He used to run "Don's Gunsmithing" out of Rocky...
