Thread: Real gunsmiths

Been thinking about this for awhile, and a post by @gundoc prompted me.

How about we start a list of “real gunsmiths” I.e. folks who will actually manufacture small parts, tune actions, refinish metalwork, the whole service. Not people who fit suppressors or the odd barrel and have “gunsmith” above their door. No disrespect to them, they fill a niche, but just so folks can find people with old school skills to fix things that aren’t an off the shelf item.

For avoidance of doubt I have no stake in this, and as such will refrain from offering names. I will say I’ve used one “real” gunsmith in the last 10 years, all other work prior was by guys now retired. I’ve also used the fitter crowd and got good service and they did as they said they would do, so no complaints there.

Please don’t turn this into a bun fight!
