What has been said

is correct. I still have a good mini lathe(minimat) and for small work it is fine. Made lots of firing pins etc with mine. For 5-700 you can find a good older lathe that will do everything you will need. Tools chucks etc will be extra but you can amortize them over a period of time. Most any good machine shop in your area can do what you need to have done..usually at a reasonable cost. A fellow from Cody and I are having a few bbls threaded right now. We'll have about 35 bucks each in that work.
