​

1. Assessment: Evaluating the firearm to identify issues or modifications needed.

2. Disassembly: Carefully taking apart the firearm, noting the condition of each part.

3. Cleaning and Inspection: Thoroughly cleaning and inspecting each component for wear, damage, or defects.

4. Repair or Modification: Machining, welding, or replacing parts to repair or modify the firearm.

5. Reassembly: Putting the firearm back together, ensuring all parts fit and function correctly.

6. Testing: Conducting safety and functionality tests to ensure the firearm operates as intended.

7. Finishing: Applying protective coatings or finishes to prevent corrosion and enhance appearance.
    

Each step requires precision, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of firearms and their mechanics.
