that cylinder and pump is rated at 10000 PSI I believe been a long time since I got it. the largest press that I was ever around was a horizontal press that the company I used to work for built for pressing shafts into gears for the gear boxes we were building for pump jacks for the oil patch it was rated at 800 tons.
this is for just what the picture shows pressing rifle barrels into the receivers if things are right it won't need a lot of pressure, unlike the first one I did without checking things and the barrel was a little oversize for the trunnion.
I also want to be able to use this for pushing broaches so I need to have an adjustable foot on it or a couple of different shoes
Still want to see the picture thou, and I tacked an upright piece to the thing so I could try it out and I was able to sink the barrel almost to the correct depth but the bar bowed some so I am going to get some 1/4 by 3 flat bar and weld one down each side to stiffen it up some. Also the cylinder is leaking so it gets a rebuild
