Some may not have seen a 3-pin cylinder hand.
This is a S&W 629 4" Mountain in .44 magnum.
The extra part, a "bolt-block pin", is powered up & down by trigger action within its frame mortise, engaged by the 3rd hand pin.
I understand it was first developed for the .357 magnum.
Eager to hear...
Never occurred to me to put $100+ 1911 grips on a .22LR clone. Hmmmmm?
Micarta, G10, Rosewood, aluminum ?
Video clearly illustrates precision free-hand coping saw & dremel modification on the same grip panels. Hmmmm?
A partial inventory of my 1911 grips to install on the .22LR 1911's.
Maybe...
I too do it in similar manner. For easy removal of the cylinder hand I use a small surgical skin hook tool to lift the spring limb up to
de-tension it.
You can never have too many forked tools.
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

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...
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...
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.

I do use small Starrett tap...
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...
