[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1337935, member: 24284"] There are just some gunsmithing tasks that require specialized tools to get the job done right. I've install hundreds over the past 25 or so years. Some of those specialized tools a hobby gunsmith might only use once or twice and if you can not make them yourself the cost of commercial made exceeds the cost of paying a working 'smith to do it for you. I didn't use a lathe or mill for the install, but they were used to make the tool I use for the install, along with a torch to harden the 'part'. Most seem to think a lathe and mill makes you a 'gunsmith'. HAA! The peg boards in my shop are covered with specialized tools, many that were made using the lathe and mill. It's a specialized anvil, to back-up the rivet head so the 'tail' can be peened. That tool has one use, installing riveted Remington extractors. [/QUOTE]
