Performs a variety of bench operations using light hand tools for assembly and light power tools to make designated fits of parts and sub‑assemblies to ordinary tolerances. For example, may file and scrape to remove burrs and prepare surfaces to accomplish required fit. Perform any one of several operations to inspect, function fire, proof test, and target shoot all types of firearms of various gauges and calibers.

Following specified assembly methods, assembles firearms by assembling a limited variety of components and subassemblies into an intermediate stage or final product. For example, will assemble barrel and receiver sets, trigger assemblies, and bolt assemblies into an action configuration.

Fires to target firearms for grouping and accuracy requirements at both inside and outside ranges and change or adjust sights and scopes, including bore sighting, as required to ensure accuracy. Requires knowledgeable and proficient shooting skills and practices when targeting at distances up to several hundred yards.

Performs visual inspections on finished parts to determine if color standards are being maintained.

Gauges bore and rifling diameters for accuracy evaluation. Rechamber muzzles as required to improve accuracy and performs touch up of blued surfaces as required. 100% visual inspection on cartridge or shell cases to determine any defects.
