Thanks for the compliments everyone.
7.4 lb. With suppressor, sling and 10 round mag I should be under 9 lbs. I can't wait to do some stalking with it.
The spindle bore is 1" and the barrel extension is just a hair over. When I bought this lathe (second hand) I was hoping the bore would be slightly larger than it's stated diameter. No such luck. At least I got a good deal on it but I have my eyes out for a larger one.

Is the spindle-bore of that lathe not wide enough to fit that barrel? What I mean is (and you probably know this) the closer you can get the work area to the jaws of the chuck the less run-out there is.
