You COULD use it for making airgun parts if you chose to go to the trouble.I know what the EDM is but there are different machines which could be CNC. Are you getting a lathe, mill, or what?
Drew,If you get that stuff, do you have any idea how much trouble we could get into?I mean my wife likes you and all, but if I start hanging out over there all the time, she will kill us both.
Terry, how did you rifle barrels with a Wire EDM?
Holy cow... How long would it take to make a barrel like that? I can't even begin to imagine the pile of "leftovers"

JMO ... while all this High Tech stuff has it's place, for the home tinkerer with no formal training in basic machining yet alone CAD design and programming ... WAY OVERKILL !!You would be better off in cleaning it up, selling it and buying a manual Lathe, Mill and required tooling / measuring etc ... type equipment.

I'm not sure I'd want to be the bag of bones pulling the trigger when that went off the first time.
