    Who owns/uses a mill/lathe for gunsmithing?

    Not to disagree with anyone but.... You really should get a spindle bore of a min of 1 1/2" if you plan to do fitting of replacement rifle barrels and have to thread or taper them.

    Who owns/uses a mill/lathe for gunsmithing?

    Same Comment as Jolly ..... if they have been outside and you live in a moist climate you might have issues. The tools, bits, collets, jaws, calibartion equipment etc. can cost as much or more than a machine new. The good thing though is once you get your first set of tools and bits, and...

    Threaded barrels in CA

    Well the law if somewhat vage in that you COULD have a threaded barrel...... the only thing is that the THREADS could not make ANY existing flash suppressor or silencer be able to be screwed on. So as long as you follow that rule it could be possible to be legal ........ the only problem...

    Building a 1911

    Hmm funny how I saw no one mention this (maybe missed it): The VERY FIRST thing you should do is CHECK YOUR STATE LAWS about how to get the frame transfered to your local FFL dealer, if they allow it, since that is what is considered the actual handgun per BATF&E. For instance in California...

    Sig P229 Platinum Elite Trigger Work

    Being in the Biz I NEVER recommend changing springs. The biggest reason is liability if you ever have to use your gun to defend yourself. Stoning/polishing and proper angling of SOME of the trigger system components does a MUCH better job of not only improving trigger pull, but also...

    Want to duracoat a few of my old guns

    yes airbrush and READ ALL of the curing notes. If you don't want your new finish to get dull or worn looking make sure not to use it in and out of a holster for at least 30 days. If you can't wait that long use the DuraBake finish. AND MAKE CERTAIN you don't get any on your barrel if you...

    Titanium barrel ?

    FYI Titanium is also a VERY POOR conductor of heat, so definately not good for rifled barrels that are shot rapidly with MAG. rounds. That is why Titanium is so hard to machine because it gets harder as it gets hotter and will actually alloy "weld" itself to the high speed steel tool tips of...
