[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 179345, member: 3733"] I took the Machining program at a local Tech school. It's a great place to start if you plan on doing machine based smithing rather than general cleaning/repair. You will get a firm grasp of all aspects of metalwork/machining that a gunsmithing program doesn't have time to cover. The particular school I went to also allowed me to work on gun parts and projects of my own. Two of the four instructors had extensive experience in weapons manf. from previous jobs, which helped also. I also took the NRA summer classes at Trinidad CO. I take the classes that pertained directly to the areas that I work in. The tech school trainning put me miles ahead of the part time and many full time students taking summer classes. If I had the option to take a full time program, I may have. With a familly and small children, extended seperation was out of the question. Going the route I did definatly worked for me. Good luck with your choice. [/QUOTE]
