First off, I am aware of the laws involved, and I really don't want to go down that road or discuss the morality of firearms. I want to stick with the tool side of things here.
I've got some idea for rifles and pistols I'd like to make, but have no machines or real machining experience.
My CNC experience is with sheet-metal (punch, plasma, laser), not flinging chips. I know the very basics of machining from college and am good at figuring out stuff, but I'll have to teach myself quite a bit on whatever I get.
I figure I'd need a lathe with at least a 24" range and maybe a pass-though head.
Mill requirements would be fairly minimal, I'd think. but I'm sure I'd end up doing other things down the road if I make this investment.
An all in one machine I'm thinking would let me do fluting easier and possibly even spiral fluting.

Anything wrong with my basic assumptions? Any idea how much money I should be looking to get together to get a working hobby machine shop?
