Well cared for lathe but the short bed and small spindle bore will limit the usefulness as far as a gunsmithing lathe at least when it comes to barrel work. A great value for the asking price but a more useful lathe can be had for half the price. If it's what you like then go for it.
I have a 13x36 Clausing/Colchester for big stuff. I'm just a hobby machinist and don't intend to make any real money. I just do small jobs for friends and neighbors usually for trade or free.
We are at $7,800.00 now with me to pay the freight. I have a trucker friend that could haul it for about $600.00
