I am considering a Haas TL-1 for doing gun barrels. I think the 4 tool changer might be better? Does anyone have any insight on this application or the machines suitability for this? Ideally turning tapered barrels, threads on the muzzle and breach seem like something that are requirements as are precision diameters at certain points.
 
You may want to ask in the 'gun smithing' forum on here... IMo.
