Can't stand to see damaged screws, especially ones as conspicuous as the one on this Model 37. Simply had to repair it! #detailscount #doitright #gunsmithing #gunsmith #ithaca #model37 #pumpaction #shotgun #12gauge #itsthelittlethings

New floating reamer holder from @jgs_precision arrived. Quality kit, and great customer service from Becky! Even with the US/Canada border being a gong show, it was a pretty quick turnaround. #gunsmith #jgsprecision #righttoolforthejob #customgunwork #customerservice #manualmachinist #manuallathe

These don't come through the door every day. What a fine example of English craftsmanship! This gorgeous W.R. Leeson 20 gauge Sidelock Ejector with original leather maker's case was commissioned for, and belonged to, WW1 Brig. General Arthur Grant Bremner. #history #doublebarrel #sidebyside #sidelock #fineshotguns #engraving #craftsmanship #gunsmithing #uplandhunting #WW1 #passchendaele

Model Seven sporting a new barrel to replace the banana-split. Was a 7mm-08, now is .308 with a new lease on life. It was a take-off 700 barrel. Had to set it back to time the stampings and drilled sight holes. Recut the tenon undercut and counterbore, rechambered, honed, and blued. #gunsmithing #remington #modelseven #308win #rebarrel #secondchance #playsafe #checkyourmuzzle

The only time we are happy seeing rust on a rifle is when it's hanging in the damp-box. Not quite two hours, and these parts are already showing a nice even red fuzz. #gunbluing #rustblue #gunsmithing #traditional #metalfinishing #gunrestoration #slowandsteady

Color case hardening some shotgun parts. My rebuilt heat-treat furnace is working well, and the digital controller is nice. #sidebyside #gunsmithing #oldschoolguns #colorcasehardening #metalfinishing #metallurgy #shotgun #sidelock #heattreatment #doublebarrel

Last job of 2020 - a sporter small ring Mauser. The charger bridge boss required removal to accommodate fitting of scope mounts. Milled away, contoured, polished and reblued after tapping. #oldschoolguns #milsurp #6point5by55 #M38 #milsurp #mauser #gunsmithing #swedishmauser #husqvarna #sporter #boltaction #rifle #bye2020

Final fitting of a freshly machined firing pin bushing for an LC Smith side-by-side. Machined to be proud of the face, and then final fitting is done by hand to ensure a flush fit. #gunsmithing #doublebarrel #lcsmith #machinelathe #manuallathe #handmade #classicguns #sidelock #sidebyside

Wishing my friends, customers, (and customers who are friends) a great holiday. Thanks for your support and patronage through what was a weird and trying 2020 for everyone. Cheers to all, and happy hunting! #gunsmith #smallbusiness #shoplocal #2020 #peace #givethanks

Fresh out of the tanks and sporting new gold-filled lettering, this once heavily rusted Henry pump is ready for home. A few hours of draw filing and polishing here! #henryrifles #pumpaction #gunsmith #restoration #riflerescue #smallgamehunting #metalfinishing #craftsmanship #detailsmatter #22rimfire #donebyhand
