I am a novice at blogging, this will be my first. I have a good friend who has a gunsmiths business in Leon, Iowa (www.galtsguns.com). Although I have been around guns for most my life I was never really taught more than how to shoot and clean them by my Marine Corps father. Them being .22's and a 30-06. I want this blog to contain information I will be gathering while working (if you can call it that) in my friend, Sean's shop 2 days a week. The guns I own and know pretty well are 1 AR 5.56 M4a3 Doublestar lower, with a DPMS upper I built and a Century Arms 7.62x51 (.308) CETME. I love both of these rifles but I LOVE the CETME...The smell, the push the look of it is awesome and want another one!
My favorite thing to do in the shop right now is taking things apart clean them, sand blast them and get them ready for a nice fresh duracoat. So far I have only done battle rifle magazines and some hand gun slides, frames and some rifle stocks. I am getting ready to duracoat my synthetic stock set for my CETME. I have also purchased a used German G3 stock set from Cheaper than Dirt for $9.00. It is pretty dinged up but I am planning on adding a new texture to the set to cover up the dings and then duracoat it FN green and black. I am sure with the help of Sean we will get this thing looking near new! I will get pictures on here as soon as possible. For pictures of previous works Sean has done or to have work done to yours go to his website www.galtsguns.com and look at past works. He really loves what he does and is a true patriot.

Aw...shucks! Flattery will get you nowhere (except second dibs on shooting the Saiga when it comes in next week.)
