I came across another gun builder here in the Phoenix area and made arrangements to meet up with him. What some of you may not know is that I happen to like all types of firearms, from match locks to modern machine guns. I also like to look at how firearms are made. So when I had the opportunity to do a meet up I jumped at it.
I find it amazing what can be built with nothing more then just basic hand tools.
Here are a few pictures of some underhammer weapons that he made with a drill press and files.

A real simple fire control group.

You should check out his site. He has some very nice toys that he has made for himself.

Thanks, Chuck.

Interesting to see what skilled craftsmen can do with just basic stuff. Like the guy that built the little .32 auto.Us with our Bridgeports, lathes etc, etc. probablt tend to forget that.
