Quick Tip: How To Stone Small Parts
This video provides a practical gunsmithing tip from Brownells Gun Tech Caleb Savant on how to properly stone small firearm parts. Stoning is explained as a method of using abrasive stones to remove small amounts of material for precise fitting, such as for sights in dovetails or for fitting a sear during a trigger job. The tutorial covers techniques for holding both the stone and the part to ensure even material removal, emphasizing tricks passed down through generations of gunsmiths. Specific firearm models like the 1911 pistol and Ruger 10/22 rifle are mentioned as examples where this technique might be applied.
