George is "da-man"!
I suggest you move to a small town in Kentucky and spend some time with George! I have corresponded with him before TFL was a gleam in Riche's eye. He has years of experience and is honest. He has helped me find parts for obscure guns, worked on one of my prized possessions and in my opinion is one of the finest individuals I have met. As he said, doing is everything. Spend some time with a master and actually doing is the best experience of all. I can replace parts, but machining, fitting, knowing the tricks takes experience that a vidio can't give you. If you can't move to Kentucky, check with folks in your area and find the best, then go spend time helping and learning! We need all the good politically un-correct gunsmiths we can get!
