TwoShot Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 There is no gun problem that can't be made worse with a Dremel tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 There is no gun problem that can't be made worse with a Dremel tool. Especially with a carbide burr in it! Cheers, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_M Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I should have read this. Anybody want a less than 2 hrs old/non-functioning (but otherwise perfectly good) Nighthawk Custom SS ambi safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredr Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I should have read this. Anybody want a less than 2 hrs old/non-functioning (but otherwise perfectly good) Nighthawk Custom SS ambi safety? ahh, no problem, just peen out the fitting pad and bring out the files and dykem. unless you went totally nuts on it with a belt sander, you should be able to peen out enough material to refit it and it's a lot less embarassing then having to bring it to someone to get material welded on. not that i've ever had to do that before...

Will_M Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Oh no. It's toast. That happened a couple months ago when I was putting together my first single stack. Here's how it went down: Rip open box from Brownells, "Huh, safety won't go in. Oh there's the problem. Here this should get rid of that useless metal." Ten minutes later: "Son. Of. A...." Yeah I felt like an idiot, but I have it in a ziplock bag pinned to the pegboard of my workbench to remind me to THINK before I CUT. I told a older (more experienced) gunsmith friend of mine and he just laughed and said he could put together about 2 fully non-functional 1911's from all the ruined parts he's got in a five gallon bucket under his bench.

Bshooter Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I used a Dremel to put a S&A Magwell on a Para one time. It had to have about 1/8 inch cut off the bottom. I was real proud of my work. Now age has made my eyes so bad, I wouldn't attempt to do anything like that again. I would pay a gunsmith to do the work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
