About

For readers who care how the work was done.

Gunsmith Magazine is an editorial home for practical gunsmithing, firearm repair, restoration, metalwork, tooling, finishing, inspection, diagnostics, and small-shop process knowledge.

The focus is the work at the bench: what was found, what was measured, what method was chosen, what tools were used, and how the result was verified. The magazine is written for working gunsmiths, machinists, toolmakers, instructors, advanced hobbyists, small shops, and readers who value careful technical detail.

Technical depth

Articles should explain decisions, measurements, tools, setup, and verification.

Shop knowledge

Restoration, repair, diagnosis, metalwork, fixtures, finishing, and inspection are central topics.

Responsible editing

Safety context, sourcing, captions, bylines, and permission status are part of publication quality.

Reader usefulness

The best articles leave readers with a clearer process, not just a finished result.
