[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1624689, member: 11960"] Just go hang around a local gunsmith's shop for a while and ask if you can sit back and watch him work. Offer to help around the shop in exchange for letting watch and ask questions. If you're an engineering student then you're smart enough to learn a lot of the basics just by reading everything you can get your hands on. Combine that with a little time sitting and watching an experienced smith do some work and you'll pick it up pretty fast. Just because you don't have money doesn't mean that you're asking for a hand out. I've had multiple shops over the years that allowed me to come in and watch or ask questions while helping clean up, deal with customers or answer the phones. Now one shop lets me use his equipment in exchange for working the gun counter for him for a couple hours. These days though my time is more valuable than money so it's typically easier to just pay a smith to do the work for me. Chambering a barrel isn't really that complicated if you take your time and pay attention to details. It's all just math and measurements which should be right up your alley as an engineering student. [/QUOTE]
