[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 148347, member: 1563"] Jerry, Personally i never attended a school, that being said i was able to grow up around several very good gunsmiths. One was a military armourer and research specialist. The other one worked a while for Winchester in the 40's. They both had small lathes and mills in there homes. It was outstanding to just go and watch and listen, i learned a lot, prolly forgot so much as well. They both made their own reamers, crude looking but worked. I knew a guy that went to the colorado school, dont think he learned to much, i had to rework some of his projects. He boasted of being the only "Certified Gunsmith" in our area. That is the only person i have known that attended the school. I'm sure for somone that has had no exposure to gunsmithing it would be the way to go, it takes a very long time to gain experience doing it the way i did. Like being a doctor, your allways learning. Go for it! Dave [/QUOTE]
