Can, with careful drilling, the Baron and/or the Jr. Statesman be made with a 5/8" blank? The instructions indicate a 3/4". The specs indicate a finished diameter of 1/2" if I read correctly.

Yes, a 5/8 blank can be used. See the review http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2800&SearchTerms=Review . Your blank must be darned well centered, held in place firmly and drilled carefully.

Richard 5/8" wouldn't be a problem if you have a good drilling jig and square blanks. I just measured a Baron that I just completed and even with how I round out the blanks both barrels are under 5/8".
