    Awesome, such a helpful video. I plan on refurbishing old rifles, and some of these tools will be very useful to ensure 100% cleanliness. I really want to do it the right way.

    Great video! You weren't condescending. You were clear and concise. Thank you for posting.

    (P.3) An item that I have found to be extremely useful is one of those magnifying swing-arm lamps. Unless you were born with a 3rd arm I'd bet you'll find one of those useful as well! Not only do they put light exactly where you need it, but the built in magnifying glass stays were you put it too.
    You're going to want a bench block. It keeps you from doing things like breaking off the 'ear' on an AR15 lower receiver because you didn't support properly when installing that new trigger guard!

    Fun fact... Brass punch used to drift a sight will probably leave a nice brass mark on that blued sight. And the customer is on the way to pick up his new gun.
    What to do?
    A little bore cleaner on a rag and it wipes right off. Neat!

    Mr.Roy didn't mention it, but you can see in the background on his table a small flashlight. PLEASE! Have a flashlight on hand! If you can get a self standing flexible light that is even better, two hands plus a light is almost a must when you take something small apart! Especially the pistols. You'll thank me later, good luck and have fun:)
    P.S. Thank you for these videos Mr. Roy, they are excellently put together and extremely helpful to people like myself who are just beginning the trek of gunsmithing and tinkering.

    Thanks Roy, I have everything in my Journeyman Tool and Die Maker tool box, except that nice screw driver kit. I look forward to getting my FFL, and using my tool making skills, to convert to Gunsmithing for satisfying work, and retirement income.

    Just a little info, like you said about the QTips. Harbor freight has a multi size pack with I think it's 300. One end is the cotton swap and they're on wooden sticks. When they break, that wood stick works great for tight area crap removal and cleaning. Thank you sir for the video. Good info

    • @fmgpubs
      @fmgpubs  2 года назад

      Agreed on the wooden bit! I use ‘em all the time too. Roy

    One of those jeweler's/architect's magnifying lamps that clamps to the desk with a large magnifier built in. Provides great light for what you're working on as well as hands-free magnification.

    (P.4) Last, but certainly not least, are gunsmithing books, assembly/disassembly guides & the armorer's course DVD's from the American Gunsmithing Institute. I can't recommend these enough, especially the AGI armorer's course DVD's! AGI makes their DVD courses for most popular firearms, and if you want to work on your guns they are worth their weight in gold. These things are often the difference between a working gun & a 'bag-o-parts' that you have to pay someone else to put back together!

    (P.1) I just wanted to add a few things to Roy's excellent advice. The Brownell's Magna-Tip screwdrivers shown in the video are about the best available, but they're not the only ones available. I use an 89pc kit from Wheeler Engineering that has pretty much every bit you'll ever need and runs about $63 on Midway USA's website. Another popular set is the Weaver Deluxe Gunsmith Tool Kit. It combines a set of screwdrivers, punches, a hammer & even a bench block all in one case for around $70.

    Great advice & well presented. I take care of my collection of rifles & handguns & a friend's collection. I would add to your list good safety glasses & digital camera or your cell phone camera to take those special pictures to aid in replacing & repairing.

    (P.2) As for the forceps, or hemostats, mentioned those are easy to find too. If you can't get your doctor to give you a few pairs you can buy them yourself. Gunsmithing supply houses like Brownell's & Midway USA have them, but I just bought a '14 Pcs Forceps Scissors Needle Holders Surgical Instruments' from Amazon for $7 & a 4pc tweezer set for another $6. Problem solved.
    You'll also want to have a good vice mounted to your bench & some padded jaws for it.

    I don't know why I have such a fascination of firearms, I love all kinds, antiques, historical, practical and modern. Everyone I know thinks it's unhealthy, but my rebuttal is "My hobby doesn't leave tire streaks, or pumps emissions on our earth"

    • @Spootnooper
      @Spootnooper 6 лет назад

      Mr. Gible I agree. When I was first realizing my hobby it occurred to me that I wasn't drawn to firearms because of any action movie but I genuinely appreciated the mechanics of a firearm much like car guys love their machines.

    From now until the end of time I will never hand my guns over to anyone unless they have an epic Stache like this. This dude just looks like a gunsmith. Your gun will sleep well in its safe at 🌙 night knowing he is it's physician.

      Well, I don’t know what you did, but a front sight height is important, barrel diameter (to the thou) is critical, dovetail measurements, the list is endless. You can watch my vids to see dozens of projects. I know others would enjoy seeing your videos so you can demonstrate what you’re worried about here? Roy
