[QUOTE="WideLoadTimmy, post: 1324486, member: 12926"] In some engine blueprints, tolerances go out to the ten-thousandth (.0010) of an inch. I can't machine my own block but I can take the appropriate measurments and send it off to the machine shop, have the individual parts machined for fitment and assemble them when I get them back. I can also file my own ring end gaps and, with practice, port and polish my own cylider heads. I wanna know if i can take my gun (even an existing one), measure it, send it off with the measurements to have the parts altered to a set specification and then reassemble them myself when I get them back and what little things I can do myself. I [b]NEED[/b] a gunsmith for that. For me, the idea of having someone else build me a gun is like having someone else build me an engine. I like the idea of doing what I can, myself, and having the gunsmith do the stuff I am incapable of doing. If I break a few parts, I call it a learning experience and try again. [/QUOTE]
