I'll ask this other guy via email if it's him. If I'm lucky, he'll retrofit and upgrade the bases on mine.
Go for the $1500 lathe...... you know you will use it![]()
I looked at those... It starts @500, but then you need all the toys to go with it!

Do I spend $1500 for a lathe and tools or $50 for a new bottom section??? hmmmmmm....
i too am currently "lathing" a few a2 style attys. hate giving away secerets but my 510 connection will be a screw in /screw out connecyion,making for easy repair/ changes! ive never seen anyone else do this,SO,if i see it from this point on,ill know someones paying attention,lol.mine WILL NOT be out next week unfortunatley,but soon.
"Great...I actually thought about doing that.The problem i saw with that is that it may keep coming loose whenever you screw on and off the atty.You have to make it so its not meant to come off,until you really have to take it off.
Used to have one when I lived in a house, now semi retired in a highrise, don't think the neighbors would appreciate it. Really miss not having one though.
"
actually as long as your not torqueing your atty on,itll never "accidently" come loose.while screwing on,it turns "righty tighty"lol,only when loosening would there be any concern. like i mentioned earlier,as long as your connecter to atty is tighter than your connecter to battery,itll never loosen. if there were a concern,i could always use a little lock tight,but havent ran into an issue that warranted using it.![]()
Hey....can any of you mechanical geniuses make it into a bottom feeding atty? Say, one that could work with a Reo?
i do know the "bottom feeding concept" just curious to why a ufs atty like the patriot would not work with the reo? very simple to bottom feed a wick,its been done many times,i wasnt aware if there were complications applying the concept to the reo.it appears they are the same basic setup. any reason your not wanting a ufs atty? i mean no disrespect ,only trying to understand where your coming from. i can make a ufs,outta s.s. /brass/aluninum..
