    Hand Lapping a barrel

    If you can find a copy of Roy Dunlap's book Gunsmithing, He gives about three pages of lapping procedure. It starts on page 217 in my copy (June 1979).

    Gw 88 Magazine Conversion

    I have a couple of (what I think are) 88 Commission Rifles. They have a sheet metal cover on the guard. These guns are original military rifles in stock condition. Would photos of those help any? Clemson

    Stevens 94C mainspring -- extremely hard to cock

    I have one of those in the shop right now. The owner did not know that there was supposed to be a spur on the hammer. The spur broke off relatively cleanly, but it left him with a small piece of hammer to grab and pull back. Shown below with the replacement hammer not yet installed...

    Surface Rust and and Pitting

    Just for info: That gun is an older 1100 Magnum. It is usable for Magnum shells ONLY. It won't cycle lower powered Dove and Quail loads from Walmart at all.

    Business insurance for gunsmith

    Go through the NRA. I think my carrier right now is Lockton Affinity. Local companies won't know how to deal with a gunsmith.

    Rebound spring for S&W 686

    I have dozens of rebound springs of varying weights, but I find that I do best by cutting no more than two coils off the factory spring. I use a belt sander to cut the springs.

    Field Barrel for a S&W 41

    This inquiry from halfmoonclip got me to thinking -- I don't get the 41 out to shoot enough any more. Many of you have never seen the "Field Barrel" either. I took a few photos to illustrate what he is after: Bill Jacobs Field Barrel mounted on the Model 41. Weight is 37 ounces. M41FieldBBL...

    Field Barrel for a S&W 41

    The 5" barrel is a far different animal than the 5 1/2 inch bull barrel. Bobbing a 7" barrel would give you the correct profile. The front sight would just require some looking. I bought my Model 41 in about 1974 or 75. I got it with the 7" barrel, but added a 5" Field Barrel and a 5 1/2...
