Howdy:
I aim to expand the scope of work I can do on my firearms before I have to drag them to a gun smith. It can be such a pain, here 'bouts, finding one that isn't swamped.
I already own a quality set of screw driver bits and several other tools. I have done some of the simple things such as mount scopes, remove & install dovetailed sights, complete dis-assembly (and re-assembly!), & other tasks.
I think the next step is a bench-mounted drill press, so I can drill & tap screw holes to, say, mount a ghost-ring sight on a Rem 870 that lacks such screw holes. Also, quality bits, taps & dies.
What do you all think?
