Taking a brand new Bergara B14 HMR out of the box and inspecting it for any red flags that there may be issues down the road. Most of these steps require the proper tools, but some of it can be done without any tools at all. Having this done by a competent gunsmith is recommended. This inspection helps to know ahead of time if a firearm is unsafe or if it will give you serious accuracy concerns.

Today we go over whether or not the AR15 platform is a reliable firearm. And yes, I actually mean WE this time. We welcome a new co-host on the podcast, show him some love. Wesley joins the podcast in this episode, chipping in on the history, and reality, of the reliability of the AR15. There are many ongoing rumors and myths about the Direct Impingement gas system, the AR15, and Firearms with lots of plastic. History shows us a record of mistakes, redesigns, and fixes that lead to the Modern AR15. SPOILER ALERT! Yes, the AR15 is reliable but it has had issues in the past. If you're looking for a rifle platform that you can bet your life on then listen to this episode!

This video is just an overview and early review of my latest general purpose rifle build. This is by no means a completed review but an intro, and update for those following on social media, to my latest GP rifle. It has already been through quite a bit, despite not having 5,000 rounds through it. Excited to see how it performs in the future and excited to continue to keep y'all posted.

Reaction to IV8888's video on his top 10 tips for the home gunsmith, find his original video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOMPb9X64xA This is all in good fun, it's not that serious. I highly recommend everybody try and expand their skill set at some point. But, be safe and be smart!

Today I talk about a personal project that I spent a lot of time and energy on. This project was fun and brought me joy during the process, especially the hope of what it would become. What could a Springfield 1903 become? Did I waste my time? Let me know down below! Make sure to follow me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tbr_gunworks/

I know it's been a long time since we released a new episode but here we are! This episode goes out to a listener named Levi who suggested the topic. I am a man of my word and since he suggested a great episode topic he is being shouted out! Make sure you follow TBR Gunworks on Instagram, Facebook, and give the Podcast a review! Hopefully we have more videos coming to YouTube in the future! Make sure to subscribe!Today's topic is about what to look for in a good Gunsmithing school and other ways to learn how to be a Gunsmith. There are good and bad traits at schools that will act as red or green flags. You want to make sure that you spend your money, or your GI Bill, at a school that is going to be teaching you solid information. So, what do you look for? We are going over just that in this episode, but we're also going to go over some alternative options. You don't always need a degree to do a good job, and having a degree doesn't automatically make you qualified or even good at your job. Not all firearms are the same, not all schools are the same, and the trade world is full of people who didn't need a degree to get where they got.

Today we want to discuss whether or not the 1911 platform is outdated by modern standards. The 1911 pistol has seen more combat around the world than any other handgun, as far as current information can tell. But, as times change so do standards for a viable handgun. What makes a handgun viable for combat, or shooting sports, or even for concealed carry? And what factors play into a firearm being considered outdated? Hopefully we answer all of those question to an acceptable level in today's episode. Remember, if you enjoy this episode please leave a review on whatever podcast site you use to listen.

Today I wanted to go over some things that I wish were explained to me in detail before I opened my own gunsmithing shop. These are mostly lessons that I learned the hard way, and I'm telling you know so you don't have to. Running a shop where people bring you their own personal firearms can be stressful, and it's not the most profitable business on the market. So, making sure you're not wasting your money is very important. We don't want to take advantage of customers but we need to make sure we are actually making a profit, or you will not make it long. I was once told that there is no such thing as a business being stagnant. You're either growing as a business or failing, stagnation is death. So, where can you make sure you're making your profit and growing? How do you improve your skills to accept a wider variety of jobs? Should you refuse certain jobs? We're going to go over these questions in this episode. Another thing that was left out of the episode was that you should know your limitations, do not take a job that you know you're not even close to ready for. Hopefully whoever reads this description hears that and understands that. There is nothing wrong turning down a job because you know you'll end up over your head, out of money, and possibly damaging a customers firearm. I hope all of you enjoy the episode, and I want to say thank you to everyone who left a review, visited the social media, or sent an email with feedback. You are much appreciated!

Today I wanted to go into some general details about firearm triggers. This episode is meant to help not only the new firearms enthusiast but also your average gun guy or gal. Understanding different stages of a trigger will help you understand what needs to be replaced if something breaks, or what to change if you want to modify your trigger, or even how to simply describe to a gunsmith what you think could be better with your trigger. Clarifying terminology and general information about triggers should help most firearm owners at some point in their life. Here at TBR Gunworks we want to help everyone interested in firearms learn more and understand more about firearms, however we can. A knowledgeable community is a better community. So, we wanted to break down how you can improve your striker fired handgun trigger, or your 1911 trigger, and what needs to be done to improve and target individual stages of a trigger function. Sorry about the wait, enjoy the episode.

Today we go over what originally seemed to be an easy and simple topic but quickly turned into a relatively detailed episode. We want to explain some interesting qualities to look for when you're either building or buying an AR-15. If you're looking for a rifle that will be a good "Duty Rifle" or a firearm that you can bet your life on, what do you look for? There are certain qualities and aspects to think about not only in the materials used in the firearm components but also the different options that would change the role the rifle would fill. Hang in there as it can get pretty detail oriented, because this episode could be a good reference to go back to when you get around to building or buying an AR-15 that you need to be reliable and durable. We also address where you can afford to save some money, and what components you shouldn't skimp on. Hopefully you find this episode to be helpful and enjoyable.
