You'd be better off with a recent pre owned G&L machine than some of the new manual machines on the market. Most manual machines being made today are either third World type products or fantastically expensive.

As stated, a pre-owned horizontal may be your best option. It seems Republic-Lagun is currently building a horizontal mill. I’d wonder where these machines are now being made and what the cost of new would be. I’ve run Lagun horizontals, their 1980’s offerings were well built. The new machines appear $$$$$.

Boring mill, not horizontal mill.
And as stated, not much in the way of domestic manufacturing. http://www.cincinnatigilbert.com/products/products.html is one, Lucas for rebuilt OEM.

Yes, but the Republic-Lagun "Series" identifier amuses me.

That's a DeVlieg, while a fantastic machine, not an HBM.
Born and Koch would be my guess to talk about buying a rebuilt older machine. Not gonna be cheap.
Had a chance to buy two 4" and on 5" HBMs that were in good as new condition, in some ways it's a good thing that deal feel though. But man those machines were nice, fully tooled out with DRO's all around.
