Default Any 'Smiths or wannabe?
I'm in the wannabe class. I am in the process of starting my first project. The typical ar lower from forging. I also want to convert my mini-mill to CNC and that is currently in the works. I'm waiting on the ballscrews for that.
Really kinda wondering if anyone in the NEPA region is doing the same.

I wish I had machining skills, that seems kind of like a skill you have to be around though. Like having a father who is a machinist or go to school for it.

I pretty much do everything i cna on my guns, unles it involves threading a barrel, and such that I don't have the machinery for.
Everything that requires that gets the gunsmith:-)

If you think you have the right not to be offended. I suggest you promptly purchase a toe attachment and a twelve gauge. One time use is all that is necessary.
