Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Real gunsmiths love Dremel tools. I know several who have made a lot of money fixing up some shade tree hacks screw-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmiths should sent the president of Dremel a Christmas card every year in thanks for all of the business his products send them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I've only experienced that once. A guy really screwed up a tang sight job for me in 1986. I finally got it done right by a very good smith here in Chino Valley, AZ about six weeks ago. I worked with a man who managed a sporting goods store where I worked. He Dremeled the bejabbers out of a lot of guns and ruined a rare high ticket rifle by putting scope base screws on incorrectly and damaging the bolt and bridge. I also saw him try to drive a front sight out of high dollar semi-auto pistol from the wrong side. Now I double check anyone who even glances at one of my guns.

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I saw a Remington 700 that had been clamped in a 6" Machinist vice to hold it while scope bases were installed. The stock had some interesting "finger groves" which were deep enough but they were in the wrong place. Duffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
