The Home Machinist!

Lots of gun forum sites have a gunsmithing section.

It's a shame that Vanity Publishing is so expensive!

Constantly creating threads with questions or questionable statements already resolved by manufacturer's documentation, equipment or common sense isn't really supposed to be a part of the Home Machinist forum. Disappointing. Forgive me, Harold, but... Steve, I'm getting complements by PM on standin...
