I'm a machinist as well, and I've even done some gunsmithing in the past. Hopefully, I'll get my shop reorganised soon, and I'll make a nice tour video of it. In the mean time, I'm trying to build a new shooting gallery, and I think I'll share the project here in The Pew rather than Build-It.
Personally, I'd love to see some gunsmithing posts, perhaps we can share some tips and tricks. I have some rather exotic equipment, so my capabilities may be different from yours.
I wouldn't call a Haas VF-3 exotic by any means, but capable of quite a bit. Is there a community that's more specific to this?
I don't have any CNC machines - yet, even though I used to program them for a living. What I mean by "exotic" is that my shop is full of antiques, and I also have things like a mini dividing head with 4NS collets. I've also used (but don't currently own) a rotary-head milling machine, one of the many specialised machines made obsolete by CNC.
I don't know if there's a community for machinists or manufacturing engineers, but I'll be sure to let you know if I find one.
Hey mate, it' would be awesome if you share your shooting gallery here...Anything firearms-related really. I don't mind gunsmithing, just as long as it's not anything illegal.
Get your gunsmith stuff in anytime @steampinkkaja
I'll make sure to keep things legal, but I should inform you that, as I'm currently in the US, there are things I can do that are illegal most other countries. I'll add a disclaimer to "check your local laws before proceeding," or something like that, if I'm doing anything that's at all questionable.
That's a good idea, the disclaimer. I don't think it really matters as laws across countries vary in many instances, not just firearms...But it pays to be cautious. A disclaimer is a very good idea. ✅
