gunsmith
A gunsmith is a person who repairs, modifies, designs, or builds guns. This occupation differs from an armorer. A gunsmith does factory level repairs, renovation (such as applying metal finishes), and makes modifications and alterations for special uses. Gunsmiths may also apply carvings, engravings and other decorative features to an otherwise finished gun. The environment in which all this takes place often varies depdending on the specific locality, with some gun stores featuring one or a handful of individuals while others resemble large scale specialty shops.
Hi there,
I have an old-colt 16" CMP stamped upper. It currently has a low-profile gas block, and a free float handguard. I would love to pay a local gunsmith to install an FSB, as I really enjoy that aesthetic. I've heard different things as to what's necessary for an FSB install, but my...

I am not a machinist, I inherited these 95 Reamers +2 Bits. So please excuse my naming conventions. I do know these can sell for anywhere from $5 to $30 each.
Not all of the reamers are labeled with complete numbers...
I need a great gunsmith in the Salem, OR. area. I have a Browning Invector Gold semi-auto 10 gauge shotgun that needs some TLC. I am not able to feed ammo into the magazine tube because the door is stuck. Does anyone have a recommendation for a gunsmith in my area? Thanks for any help.
Hi,
I'm hoping someone here knows of a gunsmith who does good quality work.
Work is to supply and fit a .17 barrel to a .22 Hornet bolt action rifle. Chambering to be .17 Hornet, .17 Ackley Hornet or a .17 K-Hornet.
I live in Tacoma so hopefully someone reasonably close.
Thanks in advance.
Looking for some beat up, worse for wear aesthetically speaking, surplus pistols
Ideally a tokarev or a Makarov, but open to other options. Wanting to get something and cerakote it to breath new life into it as a side project.
Let me know!
I got these in an old gunsmith's estate sale. A couple of them are commercially made tools while others are cut-off barrels that have been threaded inside. Several of them have primitive chamber plugs that extend past the throat. By primitive I mean not made to cartridge dimensions but just...
Hello- I am looking for a gunsmith in the Salem area to do a rifle barrel pin weld for a CZ Bren project i am working on. Any good recommendations? Thanks!
All,
I'm looking to have a rifle barrel cut down by 2" and threaded. I have had work done at Allison Carey in the past but they quoted me $250 and I thought that was heavy. Also, last time I had a rifle in there it took 4-5 months to get back and I could never get a real ETA out of them...
So, we've got a couple gunsmithing jobs that either need doing or might need:
I. My wife bought a little carbine for herself recently. She would like to have the wood stocken shortened a tad. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith in, roughly, the southern Oregon area that we could have...
I am looking to get some work done on 3 juns. A .22 auto needs the ejector to be repaired. I have a .31 percussion revolver that needs a tune up but I also want to have it converted to some cartridge; either .22 or .31. The last is getting a peep sight put on an 1894 .30-30. Thanks.
I have an 1924 Winchester 16 gauge SG I want to have hot blued. It belonged to a family member, has seen some damage, but I have it cleaned up about as well as its going to get. I've tried to call the most referred local GS on here, that does great work, left messages, and crickets, sad to say...
Vancouver, WA resident looking to have a Red Dirt USA trigger (https://reddirt-usa.com/staccato-grip-st-trigger-flat-silver/) installed and fitted on my Staccato P.
What should I expect to pay for this type of work?
Am I being foolish bringing this to a gunsmith? I'm mechanically capable but I...
I’m contemplating threading my M77 mark 2 270. Need a smith that can thread and add a shoulder for a direct thread suppressor.
1/2x28 so I can add an adapter or 5/8x24 and add shoulder.
Buyer Beware! I bought an endmill from them and the tip shattered when I started to use it. I have tried to contact them 3 times and they wouldn't return any of my communications.
They have no listed phone number for either American gunsmith tooling or their parent company JNV Burns...
My son bought an adjustable gas block from Accuracy Systems. He paid extra for the one that wouldn't require trimming. And we double checked to make sure it's for the corrrect Mini-14 model.
I'm not really sure what the issue is but the bushing won't drop down into the hole deep enough...
