A Note from the President
Is Deductive Reasoning the Most
Powerful Tool in your Tool Box?!
When I attended Gunsmithing School at Lassen College, I
was fortunate in being able to “sit at the feet” and learn
from Master Gunsmith Robert “Bob” Dunlap. I thought I
was going to learn gunsmithing so I could fix guns. I did,
but the knowledge I acquired was so much more powerful
than that. It has become the major tool I use in all areas of
my life and has taken me around the world.
You often hear us talk about the need to understand
Design, Function and Repair (DF&R) to be a real Gunsmith
verses being a parts swapper just hoping to stumble onto
the cure. It is much deeper than that. When you absorb
the process of DF&R thinking, what you are really
acquiring is the powerful tool of Deductive Reasoning
(think Sherlock Holmes). It is what AGI really teaches and
it is a true gift.
As we always say, and I am sure you will agree, “You can’t
fix it unless you understand how it works.” This is, of
course, absolutely true. But, what I am talking about is a
mental process, a process of thinking that is useful for
everything from repairing firearms, to fixing plumbing or
electrical, operating a manufacturing line or running a
business. I have even used this process to develop security
programs internationally.
The system or process I learned at Lassen College
combined with a lifetime of studying business, mechanics,
and other disciplines is what allows me to apply these
principles universally. It is both an easy and a difficult
concept to share. But let me try . . .
The easy part is to break down deductive reasoning into a
systematic process. This includes having a clear
understanding of the desired outcome. In the
case of a firearm this might be the firing of a
cartridge (ignition). Then we have to know
the starting point from which we achieve
this ultimate goal (pulling the trigger) and
grasp each consecutive action step which
must occur. These must occur in a specific
linear order to achieve the desired end result.
4
This is why it was such a
blessing that Bob
demanded and drilled into
us that we absolutely had
to understand, memorize and
be able to tell him the step-bystep sequence of how each major firearm system we
studied was designed to work. Systems such as the Colt
1911 pistol, the Browning A-5 shotgun, the Smith and
Wesson Double Action revolver and so many others.
During testing we had to be able to recite it in front of the
whole class. He threw possible breakdowns in the systems
at us and we needed to be able to visualize it in our minds
and tell him how we would go about repairing them. Our
entire grade in D,F&R theory hung in the balance. That
was tough. But it provided the bedrock that enabled a
systematic approach to any repair.
This process gave us the baseline ability as a Gunsmith to
think through each step of the firearms mechanism and determine what should be happening next. When we found a break
down in the system we could make the
appropriate repair.
Sometimes
there is more
than one
breakdown and
the breakdowns can compound on
each other. However, by knowing the
end result we want to achieve,
understanding the starting point,
and being able to analyze each
step in the sequence as one
transitions to the next, we can apply the “rules
applicable to the mechanism” to fix almost
any firearm.
These “rules” might include positive/
negative sear angles, extractor hook design
and spring-out, feed ramp design and the
"1½ to 1" rule, firing pin shapes and protrusion,
AGI
etc. These are concepts that very few people in the firearm
industry know and understand unless they were taught by
Bob Dunlap and the American
Gunsmithing Institute –AGI.
American
Gunsmithing
Institute
This is why AGI teaches the way we
do. We took Bob’s original teaching
concept, refined and amplified it
using a systematic step-by-step
teaching approach delivered to the
student via video. This has been game changing and
opened up the teaching of real

audience and generation who
would not be able to get this level
of instruction anywhere else.
Sadly, deductive reasoning
is seldom taught in schools
these days. It is noticeably
missing in the Trades,
where it is more often
“monkey see, monkey do”
without understanding the complete
process or the reasoning behind it.
When we developed our Plumbing, Welding, Electrical,
Machining, Locksmithing and other programs we applied
the same teaching approach we developed for
gunsmithing. The more you study it and apply it, the more
ingrained it becomes in your overall life, resulting in the
ability to almost instantly understand and identify a
breakdown in almost any type of system.
I have personally used this same process to solve manufacturing, security and business problems in circumstances
and places around the world. I believe this is the most
powerful tool in my tool box.
We share this process with you in
GunTech, the AGI Gunsmithing Courses, and in our ATTI
Trade Courses. I believe you can acquire the skill of
Deductive Reasoning and maximize your ability to fix or
repair almost anything. You can become a true firearms
expert or skilled tradesman if you study our courses.
Thanks for joining us in this adventure called Life!

Coming Next Month
October is fast upon us and that is a good thing! Cooler days,
hunting trips, Indian summer, Halloween and . . . of course,
the Christmas Shopping issue of GunTech! Ken hosts the
October issue and Jack presents
you with a myriad of products in his
usual erudite manner.
Whether you need to remove your
shotgun choke, protect your
favorite rifle from the baggage handlers at the airport, make room for
more handguns in your safe or simply sit down with a friend to enjoy a
drink from shot glasses with a firearm theme, we've got you
covered! If you have some polishing and contouring to do,
Gene Shuey shows you a well made abrasive wheel kit that is
about one fifth the cost of the name brand and holds up just
as well.
We present an array of items for the black rifle aficionado,
from handguards, barrels and charging handles to foregrip
flashlights, recoil pads and muzzle brakes. Likewise, if you are
wanting in the 10/22® department, Ken pays a visit to
Christie’s Products and checks out many of the cool items
they make for this old favorite.
But that certainly isn’t everything. There are cleaning kits,
scope mount kits, magazine loaders, biometric safes, dehumidifiers and more. In fact, we’re willing to bet there is pretty
much something for every taste. So, give your Santa a call
and ask him/her to watch the October issue of GunTech with
you and take notes on your favorite picks. Be sure to prepare
a fresh batch of cookies and his (or her) favorite adult
beverage!
Last but certainly not least, Ken
has another great Disassembly/

Jack’s
Corner
By Jack Landis
AGI Technical Services Manager,
GCA Connection and GunTech Editor
Woo Hoo! I am now a legal resident of Nevada and can
acquire, though ill afford, any gun (or evil magazine of any
capacity) I choose. AAHHH, Fantastic. Now I’m going about
setting Mz. Lenée and me up for our Nevada and Utah
Concealed Carry permits. If I may repeat myself, Woo Hoo!
I actually had one in California many years ago in L.A. County,
if you can believe that! That lasted until the local Chief retired
and the new one went back to the normal FOC (Friends of
the Chief) only policy of urban California, and most other
northern state agencies. This cost many existing holders their
licenses. To those of you who mocked my (our) former
inability to even caress those evil black guns and mags
outside the comforting arms of Mr. Kelly’s numerous licenses,
I (We) say HAH!
If you go to the website shown below, you can put in your
resident or non-resident state(s) permits and the application
will tell you which other states honor those permits, this is
known as reciprocity. Yay!! You will see from the map below
that Mz. Lenée and I can drive from Nevada to the Atlantic
Ocean, avoiding or disarming in Colorado, Illinois, and to the
borders of Canada and Mexico . . . but NOT across! Oh the
Joy! One day and less than $150 per person and we can act
like free men (and women) for a few years.
Beside the freedom to carry if you wish, numerous of the
issuing states allow you to buy firearms without the usual
waiting period or background check and fee! That’s just
about worth the price of the ticket in itself. You can also look
up each state and see whether they issue to non-residents,
give reciprocity to non-resident license holders from other
states, and all of the other things you really need to know
before you accidentally and innocently run afoul of an
unknown law. “Son of a gun, Officer, really? So who knew?”
is never a very effective defense.
The only difference between a resident and non-resident
Nevada license is the addition of Michigan. That would be
good if I found myself in Detroit, I suppose.
The map is something that’s really fun to play around with,
and you may find that you are beginning to think more
strongly about getting a carry permit if you have not done so
yet. Take care of your wife while you’re at it. The next thing
you know she’ll be telling you she needs a new gun and that
you have to take her to the range. Did I already speak the 'F'
word earlier? Ah yes, Fantastic.
Til next month, break some new ground ‘smithing and
shooting, and introduce someone new to each, Jack Landis

We Get Questions . . .
By Jack Landis
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, “What
size and type of mill and lathe should I get, now that I’ve
ordered the machine shop course from AGI?”, and what
about those combo mill/lathes? OK, here goes.
Having learned to use the lathe and mill at Adult School,
and then at Lassen College during the summer NRA
classes, I can tell you that I REALLY wished I'd seen
Darrell's course first. Darrell is an excellent instructor and
you will learn what you need to buy to get the job done.
The way to do it is watch the lathe and mill portions first,
THEN buy your lathe and mill. Used is good. If you pay
attention, you will get way more for your money. Darrell
tells you what to look for and look out for in used
machines. Then do the course and cut as you watch. You
will find
that you
will be
rewatching it
several
times as
you go.
What was a new when I bought it - a Chinese geared
head 12x36 bench lathe. It’s still going strong.
That being said, to answer your question, I have a used
9x42 Bridgeport mill with a 2hp motor, and this cutie
above is my lathe, although in Enco blue instead of the
Rutland Gray or Grizzly Green, I bought 25+ years ago.
13x36, or 10x30, is big enough to do anything a gunsmith
needs to do.
Darrell uses a belt
driven 10x30
South Bend lathe
in the course. It is
still being used
everyday to this
day. He says, as
do most belt drive
devotees, that

finish. Belt . . .
Gear . . . you say

Darrell at his Bridgeport Mill.
For lathes, the first
class used machines
would also include
Jets, Clausings and
Republics, among
others. The $2000
Chinese bench lathe I
have has worked just
fine for me. It costs about 50% more now and appears to
be the same one Enco, Grizzly, Rutland Tool, etc., are still
selling 25 years later.
I like the short distance through the headstock since I like
to chamber and crown in the headstock. I can do barrels
as short as 17" this way.
These lathes work fine if you are the only one who uses
them. If they are used by a bunch of people in a shop or
classroom (who didn’t pay for them) they will not last. I
DO wish I’d spent the extra ~$800 and gotten the floor
model. I miss the magnetic foot brake and the coolant
pump. The coolant can be set up with a muzzle end fixture
to flow through the barrel and out the breech end while
chambering, thus dramatically decreasing the amount of
time it takes to do the job.
The Enco and Jet mills are fine as are the Laguns. A 42"
table is plenty, 8 to 12 speed is fine and you don’t have to
spend the money for a variable speed. Spend it on DROs
(Digital Readouts, 2 axis is plenty) and a power table feed.
Darrell shows the use of the combo mill/lathes in the
course and they will do fine work. Their advantages are
they cost less than two individual machines and take up
less space in a small shop.
Their major disadvantage is they are always set up as a
lathe when you need the mill, and as the mill when you
need the lathe. If you plan better than I do and have a
higher threshold for frustration, they’ll work out just fine for
you.
See the course first, then buy your ‘chines. That’s
my strongly held and expensively formed opinion.

The Barret M99!
Contributed by
Robert Dunn
The world of .50 caliber shooting is still sort of
uncharted waters for me. I have fired some
“custom” bolt actions that almost tore my
shoulder off and I have shot John Browning’s invention,
the M2 .50 caliber machine gun (“Ma Deuce”). I have also
spent some time reloading those big .50 BMG cartridges
when I worked at an ammo factory, but beyond that, I have
only read about the legendary .50 caliber M82 Barrett
Sniper Rifles though I have felt the muzzle blast of that big
fella when spotting for a friend. Let me tell you, shooting
the Barrett in the hot and dry Nevada desert kicked up as
much dust as a rodeo!
It’s pretty amazing that everyone from young kids to adults
knows just what you’re talking about when you say Barrett.
The now legendary .50 caliber Barrett rifle can be seen in
everything from video games to the latest Hollywood
blockbuster.
Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc. is located in
Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The company was founded by
Ronnie Barrett who was born and raised in the same part
of Tennessee where he currently runs his business. He
grew up shooting .22 rifles and pistols and his love and
8
interest for firearms continues to this
day. The first .50 BMG caliber rifle he ever fired was
his own prototype! It was around 1983 when he sold
his first .50 BMG cal rifle. Ronnie brought a prototype to
a gun show and took orders for the first rifles there. He
sold them for $2,300, but it took about $8,000 to build
each one! Man would I like to have one of those first
30 hand built weapons!
I’ve had the opportunity to speak with Ronnie a
couple different times at the SHOT Show and he seemed
like an extremely intelligent Southern gentleman who is a
straight shooter. I think this quote in regard to politics in
California says it all, “The state of California is violating the
Constitution, and I will not do business with them. I cannot
sell to lawbreakers”! Barrett Firearms Manufacturing was
established by selling to the civilian market and Ronnie
credits his success to that fact.
In 1989, Barrett secured their first military contract when
Sweden purchased 100 rifles to be used for Explosive
Ordnance Disposal. The next big orders came from the
United States, Britain and France during Operation Desert
Storm. Today, thousands of Barrett firearms are deployed
all across the globe.
All of our military branches here in the United States use
the Barrett rifle for various missions and special purposes.
The Marine’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Units have
been using the Barrett since the late 1980s to “dispose” of
things from afar! Marine snipers utilize the Barrett .50
caliber rifles for various hard and soft targets. The Navy

and the SEAL teams deploy with the Barrett rifles. The
distance the rifles will shoot can be handy when trying to
stop a vessel or keep pirates at bay.
projectile! As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t mind smacking an
elk or a moose with one of those .416 boattails screaming
from the muzzle of my Barrett M99 Dream Rifle!
Speaking of vessels and pirates, the U.S. Coast Guard has
put the Barrett to use protecting our shores. The .50
caliber rifle can be a real asset when you need to disable a
fast approaching motor boat or stop a bomb toting
terrorist. Of course we can’t forget about one of Barrett’s
best customers, the U.S. Army. The Army has been using
Barrett rifles to blow up stuff for decades!
While I’m dreaming, I would like for my M99 to be topped
with a Nightforce scope and Barrett’s BORS ranging
system on top of the scope! A man can dream, can’t he?
“Oh!” my girlfriend says,
“Yes it’s true, you can
DREAM!”
War fighting techniques have changed over the years.
During the Cold War, we went after larger strategic targets
like military bases, shipyards, factories, communications,
etc. These days, the enemy fades into the fabric of society
and our targets need to be scrutinized and dealt with in a
precise manor. Barrett firearms are an invaluable tool for
performing this duty. Let’s say that we have a suicide
bomber in a crowded outdoor market who must be
eliminated quickly and efficiently. A shot from a Barrett .50
caliber rifle will shut a bad guy down fast and hard from an
over watch position far away. With the enemy using IEDs
(improvised explosive devices) the Barrett fifties are
perfect for stopping those devices from being hidden or
the rifles can be used to detonate the IED from a safe
distance.
The Barrett M82A1 .50 caliber semi-auto rifle has a 10
round magazine capacity, which might be more than you
need to get the job done, especially if you’re a humble
citizen such as myself. I would sincerely love to own an
M82A1 or the M107A1, but I’m going to set my sights on
acquiring a single shot bolt action M99. Here’s the twist, I
love the .50 BMG cartridge, but I would really want my
rifle to be chambered in .416 Barrett!
The .416 Barrett is an interesting and deadly cartridge. Just
like Winchester developed the .308 Winchester cartridge
(7.62x51mm NATO) by shortening the .30-06 Springfield,
Barrett did the same thing with the .50 BMG cartridge.
The .416 is a .50 BMG cartridge that has been shortened
and necked down.
When you top 200 grains of target grade propellant with a
400 grain brass boattail Spitzer bullet, you get a projectile
that moves out at 3,250 fps! This is
one flat shooting, fast moving and
hard hitting round that begins
traveling at Mach 3+ and stays
supersonic past 2,500 yards. That's
1.3 miles! John Rigby (.416 Rigby)
would be proud of Barrett’s
accomplishments with the .416
This is the only Barrett rifle that I will be able
to afford in the next long while!
The Barrett
Optical Ranging
System - BORS!
Let me take a
moment to praise
the Barrett Optical Ranging
System. The BORS system is
an integrated ballistics computer that mounts
on top of your scope and couples to its elevation knob.
The system runs proprietary ballistics software that
interfaces with your computer for uploads, etc. All you
have to do as an operator is range the target and turn the
elevation dial until the figure closest to the measured
distance appears on the LCD screen of the unit. The
BORS system calculates the elevation, temperature,
barometric pressure, etc. All of this technology seems
mind boggling at times, but really, it makes it easier to
have the confidence to take a clean shot.
In all honesty, I would love to own one of Barrett’s
American-Made precision shooting long distance rifles. It
would be the missing link on my Ultimate Perimeter
Defense Firearms List! Once again, I would like to voice my
affection for the .416 Barrett cartridge! I remember
sometime in 2006, when I first learned about their .416, I
was extra thrilled because the .416 round and the Barrett
M99 rifle that fired the cartridge could be sold in the
Peoples Republic of California! The laugh is that the .416
Barrett happens to have better ballistics than the “evil” and
banned .50 caliber cartridges!

Producer’s
Cut
by Keith Hezmalhalch
AGI/GCA Executive
Video Producer
apparently . . .
God was NOT so willing! I mentioned before that “God willing” I would be in Montana while you were reading my column? Well, first Fred and I delayed the filming a couple weeks
so he could make more preparations. Then . . . as the date
approached, I suddenly was struck with a malady which
although it did not cause me to be bed-ridden, still put a
damper on my days and brought with it looming questions of
an apocalyptic nature. Was this a warning sign of a major,
deadly event that could take place any minute or was it
simply an annoying symptom of some trivial and easily
correctable problem?
drum roll please . . .
Of course the doctor went for the trivial and easily
correctable problem (and his diagnosis DID make sense
given the symptoms). He diagnosed the frequent dizzy spells
as a sign of me being severely dehydrated. Now at this point
it should be noted that I never drank as many glasses of
water per day as they now say we should be drinking. I’m the
guy you go hiking with who only takes an occasional sip from
the canteen, even on a hot day. That said, I had never
experienced symptoms like this before in my entire life. But I
felt dehydration was plausible because it had recently been
very warm and I had been working 12 to 14 hour days on
strenuous projects with little food or water.
that said . . .
I began drinking copious amounts of water as soon as I left
the doctor’s office and have continued to do so since.
However . . . the symptoms persisted (although they waned
a bit in their intensity). Since the life threatening issues in the
heart and circulation realm had theoretically been eliminated, I
decided not to mention the symptoms were continuing until I
got his review of the blood tests he ordered.
another drum roll please . . .
I finally received the results of the blood tests and voila!
Everything was normal. This was good because it eliminated a
few other maladies whose symptoms included dizziness.
However, there was still no answer as to the actual cause.
Meanwhile back at the ranch . . .
I mean that both figuratively and literally. The intensity had
waned at first, then hit me like a Mack truck (not a
Kenworth) for a day, then they went back to their seemingly
10
normal level. That is where I am now . . . nearly symptom-free.
Through all of this I am functional but didn’t feel it was a great
idea to leave town for the far distant boonies (aka, where
Fred lives).
all that to say . . .
The continued filming of the Reloading Course is now slated
for the first part of August, God willing (hmm, isn’t that where
this all started!?) This should give enough time to come to an
accurate diagnosis. Meantime, I am relieved that the big bad
causes have been removed from the list (kind of). All of this
simply reinforces something I would be the first to tell you
about . . .
a drop in the proverbial bucket . . .
I have always loved the sciences, they were my favorite
subjects. But being a believer in an omnipotent creator; I
have always known that even though scientists and doctors
now know a million times more than they did a few hundred
years ago . . . they are merely removing the wafer thin layer
that activates the scratch-n-sniff odor (aka, barely scratching
the surface) when it comes to having any real knowledge or
understanding of our bodies or our universe.
so back to the reinforcement . . .
My current situation only reinforces the fact that human
knowledge and understanding is trivial to say the least. The
problem is when you are in a position to rely on that
knowledge to find a solution to your current dilemma it
really brings the chickens home to roost!
it just goes to show ya . . .
In the end what do I know? That only God holds the answers.
In the end what do I have to do? Ask God to reveal those
answers to the folks who are looking for them so there can
be resolution (hopefully!). I will let you know this: in speaking
with Fred about the situation, he related how he had a similar
problem some years back where he was in a constant state
of dizziness, day and night for over a month. The good news
is he was correctly diagnosed and the problem was fixable
and fixed. So maybe if this is what is affecting me, there is still
hope that we can proceed as planned for our next shoot
dates!
would you believe . . .
Apparently there are these little pellets (they refer to them as
“rocks”) in your inner ear that can become dislodged and fall
out of the pocket where they normally reside. Once free of
their bonds, as you move they bounce around the sensitive
membrane which affects your balance, thereby causing
dizziness. That was what happened to Fred. To fix this they
manipulate your head to a series of different positions so as
to cause them to fall back into place again. So in a couple
days when I see the doc the second time, my first words will
be: “So doc, let’s talk about the rocks in my head…”
("Rocks in his head!?" I . . . can’t . . . stand . . . it!! – Ed.)

arrives in your shop. This model is also referred to as
the "S" stock model with a star stamped on the top
tang, the bottom of the piston grip cut like an S, and
no grip cap.
A major difference between the 39 and 39A is the 39's
outer magazine tube of the inner/outer loading assembly
is released for loading by a button near its end and
is then pulled up until it clicks in place by the
same button coming through a hole at the base
of the outer tube.
The inner tube is stationary and has the
typical cartridge cut-out to drop the ammo
into.
After loading, the end button is depressed to
allow the outer tube to be depressed back
down.
There is an inner spring that has been compressed when the tube
was first pulled up, so this spring now assists with pushing the outer
tube down to its firing position. Push the tube down until the top hole
aligns with the spring button. This will allow it to pop back through
the hole.
The sequence of removing the tube assembly
from the underside of the barrel is totally
different than that used for the 39A and could
cause injury to self or on-looker if precaution
is not taken to control the spring release.
Also, the mounting of the tube is different.

This month’s
winners are those
who correctly
named the part in
GT 111 in July. The
part to be named
here will have its
winners shown in the
November issue.
OK, this month’s part was chosen because I happened to have a good picture of it . . . and to see who
has paid attention to past D/Rs. It is a slug barrel from a Remington VERSA MAX (the under chamber
gas piston cylinders give it away). Winners just had to name what the part is, i.e., “shotgun barrel.” “Dang You’re
Smart Winners” just needed to add the manufacturer - Remington, and the model - VERSA MAX. Fourteen of
you tried, all of you knew it was a shotgun barrel, thirteen knew it was a Remington VERSA MAX barrel,
and thirteen knew it was a slug barrel, but not the same thirteen. Wow! Not a ton of players
(come on GCA members! This is free money for a few minutes of response)
Well done players, and thanks to you who didn’t, our Dear Leader is casting
a more favorable eye on yours truly since the payouts have decreased
due to my picking of parts somewhat more obscure than an AR upper.
We said we’d take the last before publication, first, “Guy in the Middle”,
and twelfth correct answers for the first three prizes and
Honorable Mention. Winners are to your right.
Winners will be announced
in GunTech #115
(November issue)
I want the real name of the assembly, not “black metal thingy.” (Ron!)
“Dang You’re Smart” prizes will be harder to come by, you’ll need the manufacturer’s
name and the gun’s name. Hope this will allow the Kelly ancestral fortune to continue to
recoup some more. Email answers to [email protected]
You can call me with the answer ONLY if:
1: You do not have email access.
2: You call (800) 797-0867, ext.104 between 0800 - 1700 PST Monday - Friday.
3: If you get my voicemail, leave your name, phone number, and guess.
The voicemail time stamps, so be CLEAR with the info.
GOOD LUCK!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! . . . SORTA
"For your Dumb Statements section, during the product review in GT 111 Jack says the camera is a “5 micro-pixel”
camera. He should have said a “5 mega-pixel” camera. I know, very picky but since no one is sending in anything
I thought something would be better than nothing. Bill Paradis, Paradis Gunsmithing"
Well, YES Bill, it IS picky, but what the heck! Since nobody else is willing to play, or apparently pay attention to our
Golden Words, we’re willing to pay out $40 on really pathetic interpretations of “Dumb Statements.”
So, spend your ill gotten gain wisely. There you go folks, pay attention and, like Bill, you may be $40 richer.
Good luck to all of you in your search this month.
Keep in mind we’re not talking opinions here, opinions are like noses, everyone is entitled to one.
By “Dumb Statement” we mean a real, unnoticed and uncorrected erroneous statement, i.e. saying hammer
instead of striker, Colt instead of Smith & Wesson, D/R instead of Bench & Field, micro instead of mega
(REALLY Bill?), NOT typos in the Connection magazine. Gene K, Bob, Gene S, Darrell and Mz. Lenée are exempted
from the ignominy they and AGI/GCA would suffer in the extraordinarily miniscule possibility that they
would actually err. Don’t despair, keep looking and listening.
