In this episode, we sit down with Matt and Kevin from MK3 Firearms to talk about their business, their passion for classic platforms, and the work that goes into restoring older firearms while bringing them into the modern era. Matt and Kevin walk us through several specific projects and explain how they approach each build from both a historical and practical perspective. We discuss the challenges of working with older designs, sourcing parts, correcting decades of wear, and deciding which original features should be preserved versus which areas can benefit from modern improvements. The conversation also explores how advances in materials, machining, optics mounting, ergonomics, coatings, and manufacturing tolerances can dramatically improve the reliability, handling, and overall performance of older firearm designs without taking away the character that made them iconic. Beyond the technical side, we also talk about the growth of MK3 Firearms, the craftsmanship behind their work, and what separates a true restoration from a simple modification. This episode is a great listen for collectors, builders, military firearm enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the history, engineering, and evolution of classic platforms. Join us for an in-depth conversation about preserving the past while improving it for the future.
