I would have guessed that it was all done by hand file. But, the more he could mill off, the easier it'll be.

I am sure these frames were rough milled and then the "Action filers" took over. These men had to have an unlimited amount of talent and patience. True artisans.

Not long ago, I received a sculpted receiver that is just wonderful. I avoided interrupting progress by looking over the shoulder of the talented gunsmith. With some background in machine work and filing, I can't imagine how he does it.

He's done a couple of "el cheapos" to get the hang of it and they came out really well plus he works where there are heat treating facilities with a state of the art lab for testing if he needs it.Thanks for the replies.
