I tend to do easy to "moderate" type gunsmithing jobs myself.
Things like drilling and tapping for a scope mount our sight, cutting a 45 degree chamfer on rifle crowns - to clean-up the terminus of the rifling and improve accuracy, rechambering to an AI cartridge, simple bedding type jobs, replacing furniture, changing out sight blades - that kind of thing.
About the most complex project that I've done is work on an already-sporterized (half assed) m94 swede mauser - installed a Beuhler safety, reshapped the stock to allow the base plate to fit properly on the receiver botton (and allow proper feeding), re-drilled the scope mounts (to repair the stripped ones), cut and ground/polished and blued a steel buttplate to fit the stock, installed sling swivels and ... did a full-length glass bed.
The other harder work that I've done would best be posted in the AK build forums...
So, how about you guys? What kind of home-smithing do you undertake?
