New forum for gunsmithing?

Post by Tokimini »

We have a general forum and forums for optics, reloading and hunting. I was wondering if there would be enough interest from the members for the powers that be to add a gunsmithing forum. I don't know about the rest of the country but in my area there just aren't any gunsmiths and even if there were I like working on my rifle myself. We have members that have a wealth of knowledge in this area and I can't be the only person here interested in working on my own gun that has a boatload of questions. What do you all think?

I can't speak for others, but I think that topic is covered extremely well elsewhere. Last time I checked in, there was in excess of 30 sites dedicated to both gunsmithing and home gunsmithing.

Here's just one example:

http://www.homegunsmith.com/

Although I do most of my own work when possible, I'd most likely still go to one of the sites dedicated to such activities, but that's just me.

Sounds good to me. I to enjoy doing my own gunsmithing and a oppertunity to lear from others is always welcome.
