Gunsmithing Old pistoljobs

[Spuhr]

I use to be a pistolsmith,but lost interest in it years ago and then switched over to designing new products instead.
However I tought that maybe some of you would like to see some of the jobs i did.

Occassionally there is still people asking me to take care of their pistols, and I always answer:
We can do a trade, old german marine binoculars, old interesting firearms or blond cute sisters..........
Rarely do I have to take care of their pistols anylonger.......

Blackhawk with 12" barrel, Recknagel Swingmount and Bomar sight machined into the frame.
The rib is made in the same piece as the barrel.

S&W 65 with new octagon barrel, with integrated rib and underlug. Bomar Leaf unit in the strengtend new topstrap.

S&W K38 converted to .32 with okcaton barrel and bowens ruger sight on the converted frame.

Bomar machined into SIG P210 andbeavertail welded on frame.

Luger was/is my favorite, here is one with 10,5" barrel and gaskick that helps the weak cartridge to cycle the heavy action.

Bomar Flatbase milled or EDM down into the slide of a glock.

Some 1911's
The text and caliber is etched into the slide.

The Luger is a piece of art.

Re: Old pistoljobs

Some really beautiful work there. Mind if I ask what pushed your tastes away from it?

Re: Old pistoljobs

Thanks a lot
I got bored by doing the same thing over and over again.
Now when I develop new products I am rarely doing the same thing, and it's so much more difficult.
I really need "the sport" of making things that is difficult and when customers ask me to do really diffiult sollutions that takes a long time to find the solution for.
So beeing an inventor fits me far better than beeing a gunsmith.

Re: Old pistoljobs

Nice work. I really like how you put a Bomar sight on just about anything. Having quality adjustable sights on anything is very important to me...... Nice work again. You my friend are above so many gunsmiths because of your quality. I wish we had more like you.

Re: Old pistoljobs

beautiful work, the grade of polish of the 1911 slide is the best I have ever seen

Re: Old pistoljobs

I love the logo and the font on the caliber on the barrel. +1 on the bluing and polishing.

Incredible work. Nice photography too.
