In the toy light hobby arena they are ok. There is no comparison between them and the small Summit lathe and the Shaublin I own now. Kinda like comparing a Chevy Vega with a Corvette. Those are fun lathes, for a while. They are VERY good platforms for learning machine rebuilding and hand-scraping, as the parts are small and easy to handle. They are severely limited for the following reasons: 1 biggest problem, no graduated dial on the crossfeed screw!
If you want to use this machine, fit an acme threaded screw and dial to it. It can be done, I did it with an assembly from a southbend compound slide. It barely fits. Go easy and do NOT crash this machine as it will bend the small half inch spindle. Most of these come with several pre-bent 'spare' spindles BTW.
The one I owned was re-fitted with oilite bearings and a larger diameter spindle. But they work after a fashion. No QC gearbox. But many small lathes have these problems. Now for the good: 1 small, they fit into tight spots. It's a fun machine. Enjoy it and learn while you do. When you've used it for a while you will understand better what features you really desire in a lathe, and will be better off for it.
The AA lathe these were made by AA products and marketed by sears can typically be sold for what you paid for it, especially if you've given it some TLC during you stewardship. RustnPits, Perhaps the simplist way to explain the sentiments of the vast majority on these forums, from Milacron on down, is to draw your attention to the name of this website: www. Will a Craftsman lathe make a chip? Yup, but that is about all.
Personally, I have never run one in all my 30 plus years being a machinist and toolmaker, but I have seen them, and have been righteously dismayed by their extremely poor quality. Milacron, and most of the others here, have a decided taste for the technologically advanced, and the high-quality heavy iron. This is fine.
On the other hand, many, including the owner of this site, exhibit a sort of disdain for the lighter and older machines. This is fine also. As an example: Regal-Beloit, a maker of arbor-style milling cutters and end mills, once had a plant in Mitchell, IN just a few short years ago. In that plant, with all their high-tech 6-axis Huffman grinders, sat two Logan 's in the corner. Because they were the berries for center drilling blanks.
And they drilled, and drilled, and drilled, till the company blew the plant down. You see, this collection of forums is based on industrial machines and equipment, not hobby stuff.
Logan, which was decidedly near the bottom in regards to quality, was and probably still is, used in industrial settings. Craftsman, as far as I know, never was, and never will be. Do yourself a favor, and invest in some small antique lathe like another poster suggested. Go ahead and keep the Craftsman if you wish to preserve that part of American history. But if you wish to do some serious gunsmithing, get another lathe. I think Larry remembers what it was to start out without a silver spoon in his mouth.
Maybe I've been hanging around the wrong place, only German machinery I can afford are Mausers. I've bought parts and machines from members on this site, and from places that advertise here. I guess the owner is above the adds from HGR now, and us lowlifes that still go there.

They would make a good kid's toy to plant the seed of mechanical intuition, but pretty much useless as a machine tool. Man they could could dial their car stereo in. So I am comparing this to the little 5 horse motor. That I worked on so many years ago.
