Why am I here ? Gunsmithing advice mostly. Turns out there are no real gunsmiths within 100 miles of me. I mean the kind that can do actual machining, barrel replacement, ect. So it looks like I have to do it all by myself.
I have a 629-8 with a barrel I can't stand to look at. Found a 6 inch on EBay and need to replace it. Dangerous work for sure.
But...the GUN GODS smiled upon me and presented me with an older 10-5 with all the older features I love for only $350 cash. She has two frozen screws, so I need to get decent tools to fix her and any others.
Then...what if the new 629 barrel is too long. More specialized tools. I am a retired electronics guy, so all this will be new, but I do have attention to detail.
The rest I will hope and pray for you all's guidance on.
