Because I had some breakages on the Barrel while turning closed ends, I made myself a SUPPORT BUSHING,
Picture 1 shows the Barrel drilled out, and the weakest point,
Picture 2 shows the Bushing inserted and helping support the end,
Picture 3 shows the actual bushing.
The big end of the bushing can only be a certain length because the closed end mandrel has to go in a certain amount to maintain contact at the open end.
I tried it and it helped tremendously. Maybe it has been shown before, so please excuse me if it has been and point me to it so I can learn!, thanks Amos
