I know a REAL gunsmith. The kind of gunsmith you read about, one who does things by the seat of his pants but with a micrometer at hand. May I present, LAGS.
He can take this;    And make this;    To become this.    LAGS new pistols I got to fire both of them. I am gonna try to buy the short one, built of a stub of a .54 caliber barrel he cut off my son's rifle while rebuilding it from this;  to this;  You know someone who works on ARs, and calls themselves a gunsmith? That's cute... |

Looks great!
I'm always amazed by the skill of people to take raw materials and craft items that are both functional and works of art.

Ye might look at all the metalwork he did, such as take that hunk of steel on the vise up top, and make a perfect rear sight, or plug holes in a barrel drilled through by Bubba. The brass trigger guard you see he shaped himself, and when it wasn't right, he welded and shaped a steel one. I think he is FAR more than a woodsmith.

Kinda want!
Awesome man, he definitely has some skills. There is something to be said about work like that. These are the guys that will still be in business after the world apocalypse, when barrel blanks, fiberglass stocks and drop in triggers no longer exist. |

How much did the labor cost? How long did it take?

For which one? The pistols he did on his own as a fun project, and just picked up a 50 cal 8 inch barrel to build another one. The rifle I paid for materials and took about 2 months, simply because there was SO much wrong with it!
