Several months ago I bought a 1941 dated M3 tripod (with the nice brass azimuth ring) to go with my inbound M2HB. The tripod was a bit rusty and in need of attention so I decided to have it reparked. I pulled up Jeff's website, figuring that if he was building M3's he could probably park one.

Long story short, I sent it to him and in just a few weeks it has come back and it looks AWESOME...correct WWII color and at a price I thought very reasonable. Good communication, easy to work with....and above all my tripod looks fantastic.:D

Now if NFA Branch would just approve the transfer....

...in all seriousness....

TomT is holding back. Not only is Jeff (Ironcreations) a creative genious.... he is always willing and glad to assist others with their mechanical problems. All Jeff needs to do is see the problem and his fertile mind solves the problem before his hands can create it....!!! Then he does wonderful things with that anvil and his hammers. Spend a lot of $$$ with Jeff and his creations....you will not be disappointed at all....LOL....(THIS COMMERCIAL IS NOT A PAID AD FOR IRONCREATIONS). I just had to add that,Jeff....LOL...

From the picture, it looks like Jeff has cleaned up the place a little. LOL Just kiddin'. Jeff's got more stuff stashed into corners, it's hard to move around or see everything in his shop.

hey thats no lie, theres gun stuff everywhere. my wife has to move pistols, cleaning rods, ammo off the counter just to fix dinner. last week woodsman was here and noticed some 30-06 on the base of the anvil. the anvil i use for beating the hell out of hot metal.

TOM --

I'd like to know where you found this picture! It looks to be a copy from the story 60 MINUTES ran several years ago about gunsmiths making copies of just about every kind of firearm imaginable by hand -- and sometimes making them better than the original!!! Ak's of course, M-16's, Colt 1911's, Brownings, you-name-it. The interviewer (Morely Safer?) even went outside one of these shops, in or near the KYBER PASS in the Afgani-Paki border self-governing area, and fired some off. When the gunsmith was asked how he could do such a fantastic job with just hand tools, the guy replied that he had "good tools." AND THEN, when asked how he could find such quality tools, he replied "No problem, we have an excellent source, but it takes two or three weeks. We get them from a place called BROWNELLS in Montezums, Iowa, USA!!!" How ironic. I'd love to get a larger photo-quality copy of this picture.

Carry On!
