Rifle barrel threading

[Jdaniel343]

Hi I am new to the forum.
I am contemplating purchasing a 9x20 lathe.
I would like to occasionaly thread and chamber a rifle barrel.
Is this possible with a 9x20. I was thinking of running the barrel thrus the spindal hole and using a steady rest with a follow rest when threading.
Is this possible? I am trying to hold costs down. I want to do my own gunsmithing work and do not need a large lathe.
I am new to using a lathe.
Thanks for any info that the forum can provide.
