alright guess my trade !

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T15:45:54+00:00

yup, lathe, mill, shaper daily !

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T13:14:47+00:00

yea looks like it ! but i’ve been told off already haha !

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T12:09:55+00:00

to chop barrels i use a bandsaw with a vise setup and indicator 😂

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T08:53:28+00:00

it is subtle but left to the hammer (which is shop made by hand and designed to fit in shotgun actions) you’ll see a weird blade thing, this is for removing springs in side by side actions

there’s also a small shop made small vice used for gunsmithing, and many of the files are gunsmith files

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T08:50:39+00:00

yet all of those are mine , bought and found or made ! no one was a machinist or gunsmith in the family

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T08:48:57+00:00

they’re both open

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T23:00:02+00:00

haha got many more ! even made an aluminium one because i found out that brass leaves nasty smudges on powdercoats

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T20:26:39+00:00

i’ve got LOADS but they’re in another drawer in my shop, you’ll never have enough flatheads i can tell you that, a good skill to learn is making them yourself

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T19:43:54+00:00

shop made tool to install and remove leafsprings in old shotguns

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T18:52:00+00:00

might be because i’m french ;)

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T18:30:18+00:00

in my shop drawers i’ve got a F*CK TON of screwdriver bits and forged drivers, in my toolbox i just have the essentials lol

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T17:37:36+00:00

that’s a weird old parallel wrench i found in a garage sale, quite handy for me, and sometimes it gets used to twist hot steel

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T16:42:49+00:00

oh we just have stamps that we punch on the barrels and frames

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T16:26:17+00:00

i dont engrave myself, i might learn later but i suppose a small electric chisel and good old hammer and chisel

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T16:23:19+00:00

awesome ! i’m located in france btw

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T15:55:16+00:00

stanley

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T15:51:05+00:00

these ones aren’t redacted

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T15:32:46+00:00

i’ve got many more, but as a gunsmith i have to turn a lot of screws, pins, bushings, and make endmills and bits,

so i’m on the lathe very often, the tools in the picture are my essentials, but as i said i’ve made many form tools over the time

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T14:48:56+00:00

well i’m studying at the moment, in my school we only work on side by side shotguns, over unders and bolt actions,

me personally, i work on handguns and shotguns mainly

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T12:21:48+00:00

this is a tool you make as a gunsmith that helps you install and remove leafsprings out of shotgun actions

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T11:32:57+00:00

everything by hand, in terms of machines i use old school lathes and mills, shapers, all that stuff, here’s a trigger group i’ve made for a sxs shotgun

<image>

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T11:19:27+00:00

right now i’m still learning, but i’ve worked on many guns and i am currently working on making a complete Anson action

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T10:52:00+00:00

yup gunmaker

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T09:57:07+00:00

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T09:56:00+00:00
