Jr.Emperor &Jr. Statesman - same bushings?

[edman2]

Hi guys and gals,
I know this has probably been asked a hundred times but my quick search didn't turn up an answer for me. I have a customer that wants a Jr Emperor (which I've never made) and I wondered if the bushings and tubes were the same as the Jr. Statesman II/Jr.Gentleman II?

the lower barrel is slightly different it seems. On the jr Gen II it is .511 and .480 inches on the jr Emp it is .512 on both

Thanks. So different tubes. Anyone know about whether the bushings are different?

I've never done the Jr Emp, but I had the catalog handy... Same model number for bushings on Jr Gent, Jr State & Jr Retro, but DIFFERENT model for Jr Emp...

So since the same drill bit, I would think you could use the same if your going to caliper anyway...... But they do seem different.

Same tubes different bushings.
