This video demonstrates an advanced gunsmithing technique for relocating a cam hole on a 1973 Shovelhead Harley-Davidson alternator motor. The process involves welding the original hole, precisely locating the new position using a milling machine with a digital readout and dial indicator, and then carefully machining the new hole to accept a cam bearing. The instructor emphasizes the importance of using the right equipment for accuracy and efficiency.

This video demonstrates a DIY method for installing a custom-fit front sight on a CO2 gun using a salvaged rifle sight and JB Weld. The process involves precisely recutting the sight's contour to match the barrel diameter using a milling machine and endmill, followed by secure attachment with JB Weld. The instructor highlights the importance of accurate measurement and machining for a proper fit, even on a less expensive firearm.

This video demonstrates the advanced machining process for the BFG-50A rifle receiver, specifically focusing on creating the scope base holes. Gun designer Mark Serbu details the use of CNC machinery, touch probing, and specialized tooling like carbide center drills and 5/16 inch endmills to achieve precise tolerances on the complex weldment receiver. The process highlights the importance of accurate fixturing and the capabilities of modern machining for firearm manufacturing.

Dragonman demonstrates a specialized process for repairing and relocating Harley-Davidson cam bearing holes. This involves using custom fixtures and a dial indicator to precisely locate the center of the damaged hole, followed by drilling and milling to create a new bore for an interference press-fit bearing. The guide also covers the correct method for installing the new bearing using a specialized punch.
