Yes, but I have to make its 8 bolts, 4 for clamping it on the end of the spindle, and 4 more to clamp the small or larger end of the barrel while doing the muzzle finishing. If the barrel is just at those bolts, and an 11" long cathead (which will need 4 more bolts, totalling 12) is clamped in the chuck, I'll have around 2" of barrel sticking out of the cathead. If, at some time in the future I ever work on a shorter barrel, doubtfull because its now the only centerfire in my cabinet and I've no plans to purchase another, then I'll have to shorten the cathead to suit. But at my years its a 99.999% chance its a one time use. I should make a box/crate and label it for the auction should I fall over before the missus. It will contain all the tools I've made and used once so far, specifically for a Enfield P-17.
