As a former gunsmith (retired), I wish that were true. But I see too many postings right on this site as well as others from folks who say something to the effect that "I like to tinker with guns and I am going to set up as a gunsmith; what do I need besides an FFL?"
Unfortunately too many of those well-intentioned guys do set up a shop and hang up a sign, but that does not make them gunsmiths, let alone get them all the equipment they should have for doing all kinds of work. The good ones are smart enough to at least know their limitations and farm out the work; the bad ones will chuck that SAA in a big vise, grap a piece of 2x2 and proceed to bend the ejector housing, twist the frame and mar the barrel.
I say again, let Colt take on that job, or someplace like C&S, but they are way backlogged, I understand.
