I still have a Suomi kit sitting in the attic, waiting to be built.I'd like to see an IO Ordanance Sten build (or any sten), Suomi, or kp44/ppsh43 build.
Projects, I have plenty of them.
how much more effort?
The mods have stated that if we want one of these we need show the demand for it. I really like the idea, but they are not going to create the forum just for me. So ingo, lets make a statement and make some gunsmithin threads. Doesnt have to be much, or technical or detailed, just title your thread with Gunsmithing: insert title here. or Gunsmithing: insert question here.
Here are my contributions so far. If we want this subforum to happen, we need to do our part and make these threads.

I'm not qualified to share any trade secrets for sure, but this is definitely something that would be SUPER useful. I am a member on a motorcycle forum and the "How to" portion of the forum is awesome and so useful for new members.
Simply things like "How to properly change your oil" are some of the most useful posts.....
I'd love to fall on some "How to modify your 10/22" threads.... and yes... I know about rimfirecentral.com but I am not a member so I don't get the chance to ask questions and I like you people better, so if I have questions I'd prefer to ask them here. :
I'll put together a 1911 5" kimber take down...that should be a start.
I've made a spring guide for my Mauser pistol and a sear pin for an old single shot .22, both from scratch. Does that count?
I didnt take any pictures though, didnt think about it at the time.
I'd like to see it happen.
I will be doing a project in the next couple weeks. I will post it up. I assume post it in the general firearms discussion?
I can answer machining questions. No problem there.
