contribute when I could.

I think it's a great idea. I work on my guns a little and would appreciate trading tips with like minded folk.

Mike Nothing wrong with that, as long as it's presented in a constructive way. Regards Ken

If you want to see a website where they do DYI really well go here - http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/index.phpThey have great tutorials with pics of all kinds of smithing. Yes, it's all rimfire rifles and pistols, but it's a great site. This site is also very well administered - no bullying or silly arguments allowed. Regards, Jeff

I think that it is a great idea. I also think that doubles, singles, drillings, etc. should be included.
Since it sounds as if the posts would be by both amateurs and professionals, maybe it should simply be called the gunsmithing forum.

I used to really like the American Rifleman, back when they had good DIY articles on 'smithing, like the 1950-70s. Now its just dumb ads for bogus "collector" 1911s and newer AR15 clones. Probably has something to do with nervous lawyers worrying about klutzes who tuned triggers down to 5 oz, and shot their foot off. Rifle Magazine put out a great book on tips and projects and I did a lot of them, including making my own bullet mold, and making a Low Wall conversion to 357 Maximum, AKA 38 Extra Long. Gave up doing color case hardening when I found out that bone and charcoal in a sealed pipe at 1400 deg makes cyanide gas....wife thought I was cremating the dog out back from the smell.

Actually, the bone and wood charcoal mix produces mainly carbon monoxide gas in the crucible at operating temperature, and a very small amount of phosphine gas during the quench. Cyanide gas is not produced.
