The Birchwood Casey Gunsmithing File Set is a professional-grade 6-piece precision tool kit built for gunsmiths, serious shooters, and gun enthusiasts who need to tackle detail work, fitting, and finishing tasks. Since 1948, Birchwood Casey has earned trust among people who demand reliability in gun care and maintenance, and this set reflects that heritage with hardened carbon steel construction and thoughtful design that works whether you're in the shop or the field.

Each gunsmithing file set includes six distinct file profiles—round, half-round, flat, flat warding, square, and triangular—giving you the geometry you need for different angles, curves, and tight spaces. The files measure 5.5 inches long with a 3.5-inch working surface, sized for controlled precision work without being unwieldy. Rubber-dipped handles provide a firm grip even when your hands are wet or contaminated with solvents or other shop fluids, so you won't slip mid-stroke when accuracy matters most.

This isn't a luxury set—it's a working toolbox essential. Whether you're fitting a trigger group, smoothing a feed ramp, working on a revolver cylinder, or any other gunsmithing job that calls for hand files, the Birchwood Casey precision file set covers the angles. It comes with a storage case, so your tools stay organized and protected between jobs.
