[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1268406, member: 24284"] If you're a "stickler on money" you've picked the wrong field to get into! Good tools/tooling are expensive and you can't do good work with half-a$$ed, cheap tools,,,, and there's no end to the tools a gunsmith might need. If you consider the time and materials you can put in to making tools, there's some expense there, too. If you mind spending on tools/tooling, become a plumber or an electrician. By the way, there are 'waiting lists' at all the gunsmithing schools that are years long. If you're not on the 'list' and been 'excepted' you probably won't be starting next fall. Even that 'nice' ITAR registration is gonna' cost ya' $2250/yr. (hopefully, that'll change). Not trying to bust your bubble, it's just the reality of today. [/QUOTE]
