[QUOTE="ar10ar15man, post: 1477275, member: 106836"] i know one. but in reality he is not a COMMERCIAL gunsmith. he simply makes his own only. too much money in quality machining to waste time with gun work. i qualify for several statements made in this thread. i have been building target quality ar's both 223/308, for almost 20 years. most is not hard but getting the details correct to make them shoot .2 is. i also build target bolt action rifles. i have lathe training from uncle sam. the problem with most "gunsmiths" is they are taught just enough about a lathe to chamber a gun. this thread points out the real advantage of having a machinist become a gunsmith. my mentor has been a machinist his entire life, and when he wanted to chamber a rifle, he approached the task like any other. what is the desired end result and how do i get there? i chamber like him and like the results.
