The whole issue of gunsmithing has been discussed dozens of times on this and other sites. I strongly suggest anyone interested in the subject review those threads and then ask about any issues that were not covered or are not clear.

BOWENA, there are benchblocks for the 1911, but one is not needed for most revolvers that use a sideplate. I think there would be a good market for small parts for obsolete guns, but parts like springs and pins are either available or so easy to make that there would be little interest in buying them. As for larger parts, the problem is that there would be such a diversity that each part would have to be custom made and in most cases that would cost more than an old gun is worth. Not many owners of, say, a $25 suicide special will spend $150 on a new trigger for it.
