This post gets to the side of me that really appreciates anything to do with machining and machine tools.
When I combine that with the gun side of me, the wanna be a gunsmith fever begins to creep in on me.
Thanks for this post series and keep the updates coming.
I shoot cowboy action in South Georgia and Florida.
I have (3) original 1897 and can personally recommend a great 1897 gunsmith close to Gainesville, FL (aka) Rough Neck Rod.
If you contact him, tell him SouthGA Gent sent you.
