[QUOTE="Clark, post: 724467, member: 6600"] Gunsmithing is like music, engineering, machining, etc. You can keep learning for ever. How to learn can have to do with your learning style. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles]Learning styles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Some people learn in a class room, some from a book, some by doing it, some by watching it, some by listening, etc. 20 years ago I started going to pawn shops and dickering them down on their prices for broken guns. Then I would take the gun apart, clean it, oil, it and decide what spare parts to buy from Numerich gun parts corp. [url=http://www.gunpartscorp.com/]Firearm Parts & Accessories | Military Surplus | Numrich Gun Parts[/url] When the gun was fixed, i would sell it on consignment at another pawn shop. I am not saying that is fastest way to learn, but it was all fun and paid me $1/hour. I do not think gunsmithing is a good way to make money. There are some incredibly good gunsmiths that if they had called themselves engineers, would have made 4 or 5 times as much money. There are some real crooked gunsmiths that make good money, but they would have made 10X as much if they called themselves investment counselors. [/QUOTE]
