In other words, I respect them greatly and wish I knew half of what they have forgotten!Īs a DIY’er, *I LOVE* to take on a task or challenge that I know nothing about, because the research needed to get to the point of actually doing the work is half the fun, where after I’m done, I’m wiser about the subject than before I started- whether the project went good or bad. That said, I’m certainly NOT minimizing the expertise and abilities of a Professional Gunsmith in their field, nor the costs they charge, because in all likelihood, they are typically very good at what they do, they often charge prices that are commiserate with the services they offer and sometimes- a Pro Gunsmith is just what a guy really needs to get the job done right on their gun. Translation- I like to tackle the minor stuff myself. The catch for most folks (especially me) is that we’re not all gunsmiths to know everything there is to know about the mechanical aspects of a gun, yet we may need or want to modify our guns to do whatever we want, for the purpose we want- without having to spend the coin or time to have our guns serviced by a professional gunsmith. I can’t imagine anything more productive, educational and rewarding than teaching someone else how to properly handle a firearm for their own enjoyment or protection, including how to service the gun they may ultimately own for themselves. As a gun owner, recreational shooter and shooting sports enthusiast, I enjoy doing just about anything shooting-related with friends or with family.
