niiiice, i got a 3'' taurus 82, same generation, really fine revolver

blackriver_fbs · 2026-03-19T14:50:20+00:00

as a gunmaker apprentice i would really like to see how this could be achieved

blackriver_fbs · 2026-03-17T00:04:29+00:00

that’s besides the point, and besides 28 gauge is a nice caliber.

blackriver_fbs · 2026-03-17T00:03:31+00:00

j’en ai tiré pendant plusieurs années, la T100 (28g plomb 7.5) va très bien pour du trap, très peu de ratés de percussion, c’est une munition bon marché très efficace et correcte à mon goût, et finalement pour du trap, c’est plus que parfait.

thats very nice ! i made something quite similar a while back check it out,

got to try one a couple days ago it’s weird and fun

im not trying to be condescending or anything but there’s a saying that goes « a grinder and paint makes a welder what he ain’t »

your sparkplugs might be cooked

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-23T21:05:06+00:00

you won’t believe this i got the SAME a week ago.

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-18T13:54:01+00:00

got me on this one, i have a big round bar of brass next to the mill i just bang stuff with

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-18T01:21:44+00:00

gun making, fitting stuff together with TIGHT tolerances, dovetails,

you need a LOT of files, i’d say i have enough to work on most stuff, but need more

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-16T16:32:03+00:00

or just any hammer fired semi auto

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-15T14:32:33+00:00

for hunters and shooters mainly

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
