[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1477232, member: 96226"] My local smith is a machinist first and came to gunsmithing as an extension of that trade. He actually specializes in M1 Carbines and M1 Garands but has decades of experience with all manner of guns. His main income generating job though is and long has been making super precise gauges for use in the aerospace industry. Before finding him (no listing in phone book, internet, etc... you get to him through a referral) I used to just use a local machine shop for much of the work I needed done that didn't require special licensing. If you give precise instructions you get precise work but it means knowing a lot more than you might otherwise have to. [/QUOTE]
