    Obviously the op is hard up for business, since he felt the need to create this bs thread, which is blatantly about nothing but self promotion.

    Funny, It looks a lot like this thread...

    So I'm not the only one who saw this as nothing more than self promotion?

    Nothing wrong with advertising, but the copy/paste thing is a bit sad.

    That's what I was thinking!

    I don't pay someone to do work that I can handle myself, heck I even made my own gunsmithing tools to handle certain repairs. I made my own receiver holding fixture and barrle wrench to rebarrel the Thompson full auto and semi auto carbines...and yes it worked great when I did the SBR (NFA) to a semi M1 Tommy.

    My sentiments also...

    You become a Gunsmith by doing it for years..We all started with very little knowledge and lots of books and help from experienced people.

    If your not afraid to tackle it and you research it first..go for it.

    When he first comes in he is green, then he turns yellow and then he's rotten.

    Even more so when his only posts are guns for sale, offers to people to send their gun in to him for repair, or the cut & paste AD noted above

    Hey, if a whole valley in Afganistan can make a living copying and making great weapons by hand for over 100 years.... why cant the rest of us lean and do the same?

    I built my AK with nothing but hand tools and a drill, including headspacing and setting the barrel. Nothing is impossible if you research and plan right

    I have everything I need to do my own gunsmithing, except for a metric adjustable wrench, which I can't seem to find anywhere.
