[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 468375, member: 3733"] Well a tech course would be a good plan. Take the first semester courses, all of them. If your driven you will finish your required work and have time to make fixtures during the shop lab. When I went thru we spent 20 hours a week in the shop and I finished the required ciriculum in 8 weeks. the next 8 weeks the instructors let me make whatever I wanted, and if there was a machine I needed to use for a certain machining operation they took the time to give me a run thru on it. I would meet with an instructor before enrolling and get his feel for the attitude of the dept. when it comes to stuff like this. I was lucky 3 of the 4 head instructors worked at one time in the arms and amunitions manf. Doing this will put you way ahead on the gunsmithing courses as less time will be devoted to becoming proficent at running the machines. and learning good basic machining practices carries over into all of rifle building.
