CCM Reviews Wanted
For those members who have had work done by me, I am asking that you leave a short, honest Google review. If you leave 5 stars great, if you don't think I deserved 5 stars, say so. All I ask is that you are specific enough in your descriptions that Google doesn't delete the review. I need to...- p_ham

This has been bothering me for a while.
It's "muzzle brake" not "muzzle break." That is all. 😁- p_ham

44hunter45's 358 Norma build.
It was mentioned in his moose thread, @44hunter45 commissioned me to build him a rifle. Another rifle he was having built wasn't going to make deadline so we put a rush order in on a new barrel. He drove the rifle down, went over specs and did a little BS'n. Once the barrel showed up... -
Ruger No. 3 quarter rib
I was commissioned to make an optic mount for a No.3. There are only 2 options on the market and neither are great. Originally it was supposed to be steel weaver style mounts. I'm glad I talked him into this instead. It was a fun project, figuring out how to cut the barrel channel was a good... -
A metalsmith re-stocks a No.1
Some high falutin' fella sent me a Ruger No.1 for surgery. I haven't gotten as many pictures as the last build, but the process is pretty much the same. It all starts with making a mortgage payment to my stock carver, who picked out a beautiful piece of Bastogne Walnut and rough carved a blank... -
Marlin 336 takedown
I'm working on this to be a display rifle. As such, customer guns take precedence so I don't know how quickly this will go. -
Barrel Threads.
I've been doing a ton of custom barrel threading lately. There are a lot of options and work-arounds for various problems that a lot of folks are unaware of. It's generally recommended that you want at least .1" over your thread diameter for a safe shoulder for suppressor use. This can be an... -
Old Iron
I've got a soft spot for older rifle designs. I like the new stuff too, but it can be pretty "cookie cutter" today. One of the actions pretty high up on my "intrigued by" list is the Krag-Jorgensen. A wonderfully odd design that's just about as smooth as you can get. It's far from perfect but... -
Cool single shot
This was a fun build. It started out as a H&R Handi Rifle in .444 Marlin. It had headspacing issues so it made a good candidate for a redux. I started out by cutting the barrel tenon, then I cut the factory barrel in front of the locking block, bored and threaded the barrel stub for its new... -

Takedown Rossi build
I picked up a Rossi R92 in 38spl/357 mag. I had originally just intended on turning it into a takedown and leaving it at that. I was talking to a gentleman about wildcats, and he brought up a neat little round that he had ordered a reamer for. It's called 30 Badger, and you just run a 38 spl... -
Grandad's Model 12
Some before and afters of this well used Model 12. -
Model 70 .223 build
This nice Model 70 was sent in for a rebuild. It's getting a Brux 1:8 barrel, refinished stock, Pillar bedded, and some minor trigger work. This is typical for this vintage of Winchester "bedding" I think it was some type of hot melt. Unfortunately they never bothered to center the barrels... -
Cartridge engravings (keepsakes)
Somebody had asked before about engraving cartridges to mark a special harvest. I can do them for $5+ return shipping. I haven't looked to see what padded envelopes are running these days cost wise but it's probably not much. I know hunting season is already underway, just something to keep...- p_ham

Website upgrade
I've updated my site and added an online store. I've only got a couple things on there now, slate coasters, firearms patents, engraved pmags, it's quite a process to add everything. What products would you want to see? Gun parts? Gear? Customizable knick knacks? I'm thinking of adding a...- p_ham

Remington 24 refit
You know it's going to be interesting when they show up like this: We're fitting and finishing some new wood on this project. The buttstock was already below the metal on the back of the receiver. I was able to grind some material off the tip of the wrist and get a little better fit. It's... -
A boy's first big game hunt
My oldest boy turned 6 this year, and finally with an appropriate tag to take a young kid on, he got to go with me. He's been excited about it since we found out in May. We both have been excited. He's been rabbit and bird hunting a few times and enjoyed it. He's always fascinated with the... -

Ruger 77 Redux
A member sent in their beloved Ruger for a refit. First step is to true the receiver. I checked and re-checked my setup no less than 6 times on this rifle. Most actions will completely clean up eccentric threads by going .010" oversize. This receiver had .021" of runout! Not only that, but the...
