By the way, I will be converting this page to more non firearm look and refocus on the machine shop work. Thank you everyone!

Good Morning everyone! I have good and bad news to share. For months now I have been backing off of taking in work. As of now, I will not be taking any more work. I will be finishing work I have in house then that will be it. Moving on to a new chapter. Thank everyone for their business, friendship and support of the years. I will be fully employed starting next week and concentrating spare time to my machine shop and prototype work. Please pass this on to friends that do not have facebook just to keep them informed.

I have been whining about moving my work bench around. Here is almost the finished area. Notice the boss dog on his bed!...

Here is the biggest challenge I have had in a while. If it was not for the fact these are not available anymore I would not have even started this. Also it is for School Track, so gotta try. Two starter pistols. Customer took somewhere else to have finish put on and repair. Got them back from Gunsmith lets say B, one in pieces and other non functional. They were parkerized and cooked to the point the Cast of the frames tightened up. One, Cast does not like excessive heat especially the porous cheap pot metal type like these frames. All holes and openings SHRANK. crazy like. .115" would now be .135" for example. You can see in the picture how loose the pins are. Sooooo, I reamed all holes back round and oversized, made new pins to fit. Had to open hammer, trigger and trigger guard etc. to accommodate the new oversize pins. New cylinder pin oversized. Cylinder i had to cut a pocket in the front and insert new piece with proper size hole and length. It had a washer in front of the cylinder for spacer, OH hell no!! New oversized firing pin. New paint. WOW! What fun. She works now. The second starter is even worse. Will try the same stuff to see if I can revive it also.

I even do other fun things. This was dads old garden hoe. Met with unfortunate situation. A little straightening, turn on new taper above the crack, a little color, sealer and push like hell!!

Springfield 1911 repair and spruce up. Cut and fit frame for new grip safety. oversized thumb ambi safety, slide release etc... Trigger work and fixed scratches. Forgot to mention fit new barrel. Factory did not cut one lug surface, easy setup to turn to size.
