Stynky Tudor Posted June 11, 2025 Posted June 11, 2025 Hey Everybody, I'm looking for an East Coast Gunsmith that can harden frizzens, tune mainsprings and proof barrels. @Cascabel use to be my go to guy on this stuff, but sadly he's passed away. Here on the West Coast, everyone I talk to only works on modern guns. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Picaroon Lagoon Posted June 12, 2025 Posted June 12, 2025 You might reach out to @Commodore Swab “A fellow with no wish to be governed, inspected, indoctrinated, preached at, taxed, stamped, measured, judged, condemned, hanged, or shot.”

Picaroon Lagoon Posted June 12, 2025 Posted June 12, 2025 I had a phone number for him at one time, but I think he may have changed phones. When I have more time, I may try reaching out to him, I’ll let you know if I get anywhere. “A fellow with no wish to be governed, inspected, indoctrinated, preached at, taxed, stamped, measured, judged, condemned, hanged, or shot.”

Stynky Tudor Posted June 12, 2025 Author Posted June 12, 2025 I just got a hold of @Commodore Swab, we've made plans to get together in August when I'm out that way!

Commodore Swab Posted September 28, 2025 Posted September 28, 2025 Sorry, been away for a while. Been working on getting the home back in order and shop back in gear.

Been working on getting the home back in order and shop back in gear. @Commodore Swab, Not a problem. Sorry I didn't reach out to you - I caught a nasty bout of COVID in early August that kicked my butt through part of September. I've got a road trip planned, and hope to see you around the middle/end of October. Braze and I have been tooling ahead on our French Trade Gun project. The frizzen definitely needs to be hardened and the lock springs need to be tuned.
Commodore Swab Posted September 29, 2025 Posted September 29, 2025 I should be in FL end of oct/beginning of November

Commodore Swab Posted October 2, 2025 Posted October 2, 2025 No shop, just a trip down to pick up some things and let my ex spend some time with Alex
