HOME Gunsmithing Forum

[clandestine]

Something like that is good but it needs to be moderated by someone technically trained or it will be dangerous.

Theres a couple of gunsmiths here that could do the job.

Are you volunteering?

Are you volunteering?

I was just suggesting it to the Mods/Admins for reasons of liability and to protect the membership from dangerous advice.

I was not volunteering. Something like that has to be decided by Don and Paul. If they approached me I would have to consider my posting style and compose my posts differently.

I would start adding material myself as well.

An entire FORUM, or just a thread within a forum?

One good thing would be the lack of some "professionals" constantly telling everyone their guns are junk. That would be refreshing.

Since you didn't specify what kind of professional....your guns are junk.

We can call it the Bubba Files. I have a few recent creations I need to unveil somewhere.

I like the idea.But these two words ^ shouldn't be used together.

Only in that particular thread. You could still be you and let it all hang out in the other threads.

Similar to expectations that every photo of a new gun also show feet, I recommend that any video of a home gunsmithing project be filmed in a kitchen I'm looking forward to the how to make your shotgun barrel smaller series using hacksaws.

my thoughts are:

If the "professional gunsmiths" want to assist thats all great!! But there alot of us here that have tingered with firearms just as a hobby and able to help others. I learn alot from Youtube but why not help each other when we can

D'Oh!

I was talking about a professional of the "smith" variety,..... and not black.

No offense to blacks.

Id imagine a disclaimer like "without actually seeing it and miking it out, doing such and such MIGHT be the cure." Would be enough to cover your ass.

First free advice.....

Kimbers suck.

I don't know if we need another section.

When I've had "home gunsmithing" questions, I've posted them in the Handgun/Rifle/Shotgun section. I figure that the folks who check the Handgun section may have had the same issue with their pistol.

anything else??

the whole reason I suggested this is I bought an OLD OLD Colt wheel gun and the cylender is a little loose, how do I tighten the action?

IF I may add? AND: way overrated too! but hey......cool-aid anyone?

Some Old Colts used a cylinder bushing. I am not sure if they can just be replaced or if they need to be fitted. Worn wheelguns are a particular problem because so many moving parts need to sync perfectly.

Depends on where its loose and how bad. I need a detailed description. Working on Colts is not something I can even do at home. Colt Revolvers require alot of skill to do right. They are such a pain I require $300.00 deposits to start working on one.
