Barrel threading????

[(Ronin)]

I whip up a center support for the through-way and slap them in a 3-jaw..use a revolving center on the muzzle end,cut the thread and then throw a target crown on it to clean it up when i'm done..
Always comes out perfect

What typs of lathes do most people use. I was looking at an ancient Southbend where you had to change the gears manually. I don't know much about lathes, but am going to start learning soon.

Would you guys mind showing some pics of your set-ups, and ways of securing and centering the barrel for threading and crowning.
