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.

Looking for a gunsmith in the Oregon City, Portland, Salem area that can repair a Ruger black powder revolver. Purchased new in the '90's, gave it to my son and he says it will not fire because of bad springs??? Have not seen it in decades but want it in firing order before I die. I need the...
Looking for any recommendations to swap a barrel on my Charter Arms Pitbulll in .45acp. I’d prefer something here in the valley but would travel or ship if needed. Thanks
I am looking for a gunsmith to re-tread scope base mount holes in my Browning X-Bolt and install a scope ring. I just purchased used Browning X-Bolt with Vortex Viper HS-T, and the first time I took the rifle to a range, the scope rings got loose. More specifically, base mounts got loose. This...
I have a Winchester 73 that would require a competent gunsmith to work over. Either a complete or partial restoration. A complete restoration would require relining a barrel, fixing some gouges in the metal, and a complete re-bluing. Doug Turnbull back east is the guru, but I would prefer...
For trade is a Caspian government frame in stainless. It hasn’t had any work done on it, ready for your project!
I would like to trade for 7oz of silver (.999).
Willing to meet at Coat of Arms in Keizer, OR.
Inherited this colt .38 from my grandpa after he passed, and I see he retired it due to a super rusty barrel. The wheel spins well and has little to no rust. Wondering if I can replace the barrel and clean this thing up since it had such sentimental value.
looking for advice, input on what...
I want to have my K frame 648 drilled and taped for a scope mount...I know it’s a pretty straight forward job, but I'd hate to have an inexperienced well intentioned person drilling holes in a quality firearm. The only smith I knew in Port Angeles retired sometime back. Any recommendations?
I have an old Stevens 311H SxS 12GA that I want to turn into a coach gun. Any recommendations in the Seattle area who can shorten the barrel down to 18.5", crown, and install a bead sight? Thank you.
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and am about to kick off a couple of projects. The one I'm really struggling with is finding a quality gunsmith who has experience with the Winchester model 88.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi guys, so I'm in the Hillsboro / Forest Grove area and I recently added a Hi Power to my collection. I am in need of a gunsmith who can handle barrel fitting, and trigger and hammer install. I have to send the slide out for milling so I can add new sights, but if they can do that also it'll...
Questions:
1: How much is liability insurance for a small Type 7 FFL selling a small number of parts (a few dozen at first) like adjustable gas blocks etc???? How much insurance should I carry?
2: Can I register the LLC after I get my FFL??? That way, if I don't get approved to have an...
