I am not a lawyer!!!! I'll ask the OP. Are you already a fairly skilled machinist? If not than the learning curve can be quite steep, even to the point of being dangerous to you physically and your friends equipment($$$$$$). I know you don't want to get injured or damage your buddy's machinery...

What part of Northern Illinois? Is there any where to see a inventory and approximate price? Thank you

Easy or difficult is a relative thing. Someone with basic machine skills can complete a AR lower on a manual mill. On some sites I visit I have seen AR lowers finished and working with nothing but a drill press dremel tool and files. CNC can help if you are making 5-5000 of them or carving the...

No, that is what is called a 0% forging. If you have the equipment and know how you can do the machine work to finish it into a working lower. Nothing real challenging for a skilled machinist. Look at CNCguns.com and homegunsmithing website for more than you ever wanted to know. Good luck

Where are you guys getting power pistol? After a 13 year break from reloading. I picked up the new hornady manual and power pistol looks like a higher charge weight per velocity compared to other powders. In my experience this condition gave more acurate loads(the case almost full). However...

Man, some of you can be pretty harsh. I have learned the error of my mistreating ways. The rest of my collection is in like new condition from learning the hard way on this old revolver.:( Cut me some slack:o At least I'm trying to make it right.:D There is no doubt it is going back...

As promised...

Thanks all Thanks for all the response. Just to clarify the range smith said the crane and extractor rod was bent. I got it open and empty in the range stall. I pushed the thumb release and at the same time pushed back the little pin at the forward end of the extractor rod(with a small...

Let me start by saying what a great site to find out here on the internet!!! Well I have an old 19-3. It is blue finish with 4 inch barrel. The serial dates to 1973. My family purchased the revolver from a friend in law enforcement in the mid 80's when his department switched to semi-auto...

Internet tough guy checking in... ^^^^^SAD BUT TRUE^^^^^^^ I'll ask again. Do you think it is possible for a Mr. Softie to change his bully magnet ways? ...hypothetically speaking of course...:) I'll guess "no" you can't change your gut reaction.:(

Do thoes that know have some database at their disposal? Is it public? I found my model 19-3 was built in 1973 but I had to call S & W directly. Thank you

My opinion as an internet badass... I agree it's all in how you carry yourself as to be "marked" by the bad guys. You could be dressed like you going to serve a no knock warrant and the look on your face can give you away as a softie in one second! I'll ask, is it possible for a Mr...

Thanks for the clear descriptions. I really enjoy when tuner and RP talk shop. In my minds eye I see an invisible ramp between the top corner of the frame ramp and barrel ramp that must be "correct" for proper function. Chuck you description of how you cut the ramp was perfect. By...

You get a hunk of metal and cut everything off thats not a gun.:p I agree with RC and alaskan.

Thanks for the replys guy's. Let me clear this up in my mind.:confused: The ramp in the frame is the feed way. There is some pretty generous wiggle room on depth and position as long as the bridge is not shortened to much and the top corner is left sharp and the angle is correct. Is...

I'll figure out theese forums someday Jolly your the best!! At least one other person is curious also.:)

I had a few questions about the frame ramp job in rogersprecision 1911 feed ramp sticky. Starting a new thread to bring attention to it. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=189756 Thanks for your time!:)

Beautiful work!!! Is the engraving done by hand or CNC? Looks to be by hand and very nice! EDIT: I like the black pearl. Is there a price on that lovely machine?

Super Secret "Gunsmith" info only!!! Nobody wants to talk to me?:) I guess this tool and die maker has to go buy a book.

One more question if any have the time to reply. How much would a job such as this cost if done by a competent gunsmith? Thanks
