Big bore small diameter lathe chucks

Was wondering where to get a small 3 to 4 inch chuck with a 1 3/8" bore. I am building a small portable lathe and this is something I am strugling with. I have seen Porpers lathes and he uses a Bison chuck but the bore is bigger than standard. If any one has any insights I would be very happy to here it.Thankyou

Joe gets the chucks from MSC, Standard 7/8" hole, Then he sends them to the machine shop and they bore it to 1.320

I did not think you could bore out very much on a standard chuck without cutting into the scroll. I will have to look into that again. Do you know which model of chuck he is modifying?
Thanks
