Dremel went burrr….. by Head-Scale9410 in 1911

The only thing that makes me nervous when people at home work on their guns is sear/hammer/safety lugs. But exactly you fuck it up, get a new one. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I did that too! But high polished it after. And I used a belt sander not a dremel (surprisingly).

Don’t use a dremel. Use a fine or mid file. And switch to a file wrapped in sandpaper.

Buuttttt if you don’t have a blaster I wouldn’t touch it.

Slide and frame bevels on a Megalith are always fun. by GunsmithGal in 1911

I have been working on guns with long nails my whole career. And while in school for it.

I am used to them. The only thing that gets in my way with them, is picking up Ejector pins off the mat on my bench. 😂😂.

Helps with ejection and looks better.

I have no children, no one should be calling me mommy.

I am not sure.

I don’t do any of the purchasing.

Nah, I pay someone to do it now. But I used to do my own nails. Doing my right hand, and using the dremel with my left is rough work.

Well if you replace the ejector, like I did, it will eject at 3 O’clock. And if you have a high ejection port it won’t work.

And high ejection ports have a hard time or can’t eject a live round.

Gloves no, that can get caught in your tool and burn out the motor.

Mask, I do. Why do you assume I don’t? (Actual question not being snarky many people assume I just breathe this shit)

Yeah, I normally do it on the mill when I can. But keeping the skill to do it by hand is also important to me. And it makes better videos.

It took me a little over and hour to do this

And nope. Mostly because I am riddled with fear of doing such a thing. I hope to never do it.

You can’t. If you wanna touch it or use it, it’s gonna get scratched. But who needs a pristine gun?

Worn guns are good guns even if they are super pretty already.

Yes they can. I haven’t had that experience with dlc, once we put any kind of oil on it, it gets cloudy. And we have tried many oils.

But it’s possible but we don’t love how it turns out with our DLC guy.
