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.
Hey all, I'm wanting to get deeper into gunsmithing and would like to find a smith around Redmond that would be willing to pass down some knowledge. I've spent the last 4 years in manual machining with 10 years of experience in tig, mig and stick welding.
Not looking for employment necessarily...
I was told this by a friend and had to read it for myself. Its true as far as I can tell. Bottom line is your PREBAN 10+ round mags can not be carried or used in public. Only your privet land or a gun range. (Gun smith etc.) So all of us who carry 10+ mags risk a class A misdemeanor if...
I’m trying to find a gunsmith in the PDX / Salem area who can examine a some pistols I inherited. A 1913 steyr, Mauser pistol, and matching 1942 Luger.
I’m looking for someone who can appraise then but most importantly, clear/service the pistols for use if possible.
I’m absolutely not looking...
My local gun smith will be out for a while.

I'm adding a Malcolm 6X vintage scope to my Remington #1 Sporting Rifle, which has been meticulously restored and re-chambered for modern ammunition. My eyesight is not good enough anymore to use iron sights and I've had no better luck with a Lyman peep sight and globe front end. So the...
So I recently picked up a Beretta A400 Xtreme- It had not been loved before me- it was seriously dirty as hell. Despite that, my buddy and I decided to take it out to the trap range and it performed well. I got home and took it apart and gave it the full service. I noticed some light surface...
Hey friends,
I’m in Hillsboro, so I’m hoping to find someone local, but more importantly, someone who can handle the job.
I have a nighthawk 1911 that I bought a threaded barrel (night hawk brand) for. I was hoping it would just drop right in but it doesn’t. I would like to find someone who...
This was an old kit gun where you were supposed to sand and finish the wood and blue the metal parts yourself. Hence the unfinished state of the gun. The wood swelled over the years and snapped the brass backstrap. I purchased a new one but the specs changed over the years and it doesn't fit the...

So, after shipping my Ruger No. 1 Safari in 7 Rem mag in April of 2018 for a conversion to Varminter-style in 7mm STW, and countless emails and phone calls all with false promises, I sent this email last week. I called him again today, he said it would go out today or tomorrow. If I don’t get...
