I just deposited that idea in my data base. Thanks.

Gunsmith is derived from the Latin word for "patience"....... A few minutes to construct a non-marring tool or use a polymer gripped pliers is worth the effort. Use the drill bits to assist in molding and compressing the leather into the host vise grip jaws. The vise grips are far superior to...

Yes. The P225 was shorter profile single-stack 9mm derivative of the P220 .45. The P6 was a early derivative of the P225 with the distinguishing changes requested by German agencies to endorse it with their approval "P", Polezei. The HK's were well-liked by the German agencies, however most...

For years, the Polizei relied on the P1 (Walther P38, .32 cal) P2 (SIG P210, 9 mm) P3 (Astra 600) service pistols, until the mid-1970s when the West German government adopted a number of new requirements: 1. feature a DA/SA action 2, 9×19 Luger chambering 3. 8 round magazine capacity 4...

This is a full-circle Sig P6 story. I acquired both a Sig P225 and its specialty variant the P6 in pristine form many years ago. The P6 was imported by Century Arms International ("C.A.I") in Georgia, Vermont of all places. C.A.I. was a subsidiary of Century International Arms ("C.I.A")...

I bet it does. I have a gauge to specifically check that gas key - lower receiver ring gap tolerances. A fancy two quarter test. There are a number of parts where tolerance stacking of good parts will result in carrier key impacting the lower ring as well. Here are a few that can be checked...

^^That's a lot of elbow energy!

Yesterday, making a lathe center gauge for aligning 60 deg tool bit for single point thread fabrication. I have the Browning & Sharpe style that holds the gauge with a spring with the gauge slot. I wanted a more secure hold for the gauge so I used 4-40 set screws. Used a softer spring rate in...

Thanks for sharing.

Finished my doomsday choke tube driver set.

Interesting demonstration of the how a small tap wrench is Not a precision instrument. You may want to consider avoid using the T-wrench for small taps to avoid breaking them off in the work. Joe Pie video is well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0PBPGjd0Pc I do use small Starrett tap...

You set yours up like a Fordham rotary system.

Not a gunsmith repair but rather a nice inventory upgrade; a small bench top vise for holding small micrometers in particular. I find mic-ing small parts requires a third hand hat trick sometimes. Now, I can just hold the part in one and dial the micrometer with the other....no drama...

........a different approach for the Browning universal choke tube wrench. Akin to a wing-nut hex bit driver.

Most likely the damage will occur due to compression / distortment of fine choke tube threads, from the expansion of the Brownells' tool. I was tinkering in the shop today pondering yet an alternative solutions to driving the choke tubes out using a hex drive but internally a precision drill...

^^ An expanding collet with knurling to engage the internal surface of the choke tube. I presume a crescent or specific sized wrench on the tool flats to turn the tool. Thanks !

........and Jimmy Buffet is grinning in gunsmith heaven.

As a last resort for employing an impact driver on a gunsmith sized fastener I like the Laser brand. Japanese mfg for use on small motorcycle parts. It has a 3/8" male drive, when coupled with an adapter to 1/4" hex head, it allows use of all / any magna-tip gunsmith bits. Its smaller mass...
