Not sure this is the right place for this if not mods please move.
I had a customer request a custom bolt action the other day. Ok not a problem. But instead of wood/acrylic he would like brass. So I told him I would need to do some research and see if I could get some questions answered. So here are my questions.

- Can I turn brass on my wood lathe with just my HSS tools. I think I saw a post recently saying it was possible but can't remember.
- Is it possible to drill the brass out to the correct size for a bolt action without needing the brass tube glued in? I am thinking a 9mm or 9.5mm drill bit would work any thoughts?
