Tooling

The L. Bengtson Arms Company now produces tooling for fine gunsmiths and classic sports car enthusiasts. We are no longer in the business of gunsmithing.

For something over 30 years, I have specialized in repair and modification of the the Colt 1911 pistol and its variations. While I have done much other work, this, along with the 1903 Springfield rifle, has been my primarily area of interest. I have also written a number of articles covering both firearms and MG related subjects. Some of these articles have been published in national magazines because they were of general interest. In other cases, they were not suitable for mass publication because they dealt with subjects which are of limited interest. The purpose of magazines is to sell advertising. My purpose is to inform and pass along ideas and information developed over a lifetime of shooting and driving sports cars. Hence, when I decided to leave the active gunsmithing field to concentrate on making tools to help other people learn to do gunsmithing and maintain their MG's, I decided to leave the web site up and post articles which would be of interest to that select group of people who want to know more than the banal tripe found in too many magazine articles.

Please contact us if we may be of service to you.

DVC,
Les Bengtson
