I'm A Master Gunsmith - Ask Me Anything

What is the best and most inexpensive American made gun for a woman you'd recommend?

how many guns did you machine for personal ownership?

A gun has about 8-12 parts, do you really need to be a "master" to assemble or find the broken part? About like claiming to be a "master" lawn mower engine repairman.

Which gun would you recommend for me?

One of my Springer 1911's seems to be wearing on the top of the hammer.. I look at the slide bottom inside and seems like there's some rough dremeling or what you guys call it where they match the slide to frame with the serial number and I can only assume it's from that? Make sense? Should I just arizona stone that writing off?

I designed and created a 70 caliber revolver with 8 inch barrel called the Bosche Handcannon. Only 4 were ever made.

very kewl sir! respect ! :)

Can you legally make the baffles of a suppressor?

I always recommend a 38 caliber for women. Perfect balance of power and controllability for the fairer sex. There are several great options out there.

of course, you simply cannot manufacturer it into a suppressor... derp

Only if he has a manufacturing FFL.

S&W model 66. best for womens hands and weight.

If I paint my model 700 ADL black, will it become fully automatic?

Unless you are 100% sure, take it to a respectable gunsmith. Id have to see it to make a good assessment

Can I swap out my AR 15 polymer hammer with a steel one without replacing all of the polymer trigger assembly group?

Thank you!

What's your opinion on the new Colt Python vs the Original?

Thank you

No. Youd have to replace the whole assembly

My lady has the colt detective special 3rd gen from the 70s.
38 Special revolver is the way to go for her.
Nice trigger too.

She can't rack the slide on a pistol anyway.

Can an AR15 barrel be installed with a regular wrench?

Hello judge Cox.

Well, you said to ask you. I'm not a gunsmith but I've worked on every firearm I've owned for over 30 years. Again, listen this time... It's a blued 3050cv steel hammer right, and it's wearing out on the notch where it rides the bottom of the slide. I'm not talking fucking headspacing here or legal liability what I'm asking you, but there is writing on the inside nick notch of a 1911, if you ever heard of them, that has the serial from the factory because it's a custom shop matched forged frame and slide. I can only assume this wear is from that dremeling or drilling they did to put that serial there.... Less than 500 rounds through this one

I havent had a chance to check out the new 2020 python. However if its its anything like the original it should be a solid revolver

I got a problem with a 682 trap combo and the over single is fine but the double the forearm is loose. Can I fix that and where is the trouble spot?

Thanks. Im pretty darn machiney minded. Just don't know where to start.

Is the HK51 a good gun?

Should I use 24# wolff spring in a Colt .45 Defender?

LOL, if you're the Hulk

I have a New Army 1858 with a conversion cylinder. I'd like to put bigger grips on it, like a full size 357. Anything I can get off the shelf? Know anybody who does this?

Also, how hard would it be to cut the dovetail for a front sight? Like a tritium kind of thing.

NICE!!

What kinds of regulations are you now facing? Do you have to turn people in?
