[QUOTE="metau, post: 148405, member: 7497"] I know of two schools with physical locations here in colorado. The school of trades, which is in Denver IIRC, and the School of Gunsmitihing in Trinidad at the community college down there. I also noticed that the one in Trinidad is one of the few with a nod from the NRA. Not sure if that means anything. The only problem though is that I really do not want to live in Trinidad, nor will I ever live in Denver. I only know of one gunsmith in my local area and unfortunitly I have heard from most every person that I have talked to that I should have work done somewhere else. Which is another reason why a the guys at the local gun shop are encouraging me to learn the trade. I am jsut trying to figure out a way to learn the trade, where I can still make a living while learning and not have to give up living in the mountains that I love. Now a question for the gunsmiths on here. Is it truely feasable to make a living and support a family through doing this, or is it more of a 'on the side' sort of deal? I am just curious as to what I might be getting myself into. Feel free to PM me. Thanks again everyone. Jerry [/QUOTE]
