Anybody with a Lathe?

I've got a rifle I'm rebuilding but the hole in the barrel nut is a bit too small and I need it bored out slightly. It's currently 1.0" and I need it to be 1.052. Any ideas for opening it up if I can't find someplace to do it.

What are the tolerances for the hole? What shape is the nut?

[kayt00]

OD on the barrel is 1.046, ID on the barrel nut is about an inch. I figure 1.052 +/- .002" should be fine and could probably be a smidge bigger but I'd like to keep as much material as possible and still be able to screw it onto the receiver. The barrel nut itself is round.

Can you send pictures?

Anybody know of a good machine shop in the North DFW area?

I work at a machine shop in Dallas, but in the west central area, close I35E and 183/Regal Row.

I could easily do this for you. If you're willing to bring it by the shop one morning I can knock it out while you grab a bite to eat nearby. I can open it up to within +/- .001" of your specs. PM me if interested.
