{{Unreferenced section|date=March 2021}}
The primary responsibility of a gunsmith is to ensure that guns work and function safely. Gunsmiths accomplish this by always properly observing and demonstrating [[gun safety]] in their handling procedures, both in their own actions and the actions of their customers and the people around them.

They accomplish that task secondly by inspecting guns to ensure safe mechanical operation. Gunsmiths use their in-depth knowledge of firearms and manufacturer's gun schematics to guide inspections: repairing deficiencies, notifying customers of unsafe conditions, or preventing catastrophic failures.

Some of the conditions a gunsmith looks for when inspecting a firearm brought to them for repairs are improper assembly, missing parts, cracks, bore obstruction, improper headspace, improper timing, safety malfunctions, worn [[Sear (firearm)|sear]] edges, and deformed firing pin tips, among other problems.

'''*Gun schematics''', also referred to as firearm schematics, are technical diagrams that display a firearm's internal workings and parts. These schematics usually feature detailed illustrations of significant components like the barrel, receiver, trigger assembly, and magazine. They are often used by gun enthusiasts, manufacturers, and gunsmiths to diagnose and fix problems that may arise with the firearm.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gun Schematics, Gun Diagrams and Guides |url=https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/firearm-resource-center |access-date=2023-07-27 |website=Ammunition Depot |language=en}}</ref>
