From his father-in-law of course who was a master gunsmith.

By thinking you can do a gunsmith's job in your rec room from a video is unfortunately the saddest of all statements on the future of real craftsmanship. I mean why even dedicate the years the money and time learning a trade when many out there think it's a gimmick and worth less than their yard maintenance crew charges. Well bending and tuning main springs or any flat spring is a gimmick ? So it should be easy to replicate. I guess in the final analysis there probably isn't one in fifty on this site who would know a real action job from a lighter trigger to save their lives.
