It seems like there are no decent gunsmiths in this area that truly care about any of the work they do.
Before I start too much into this topic, I want to make it clear that I have no intention to open a gunsmithing business or do any major work on a gun at all. I just want to know where to start when it comes to basic gunsmithing.
I only plan to work on my own guns, and only on simple tasks like changing out sights, or smoothing out actions, or (maybe) at the very most drilling and tapping a barrel for scope mounts. Again, I plan to stick with the simplest smithing.
Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction? Other forums I've looked at with similar questions point the OPs to Gun Smithing schools and stuff like that. All a little higher caliber than I'm interested in. I'm mostly interested in DIY books or videos, or recommendations on basic tool kits to start with.
Any advice is appreciated. If you need a clarification on my question, feel free to ask. Thanks in advance!
