[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1451218, member: 24284"] There are NRA Summer Gunsmithing courses, also. 1-2 weeks long, taught by real gunsmiths. These classes are held at several of the gunsmithing schools across the country. Classes from beginner to advanced. A good way to spend a weeks vacation in the summer. You can find out more about these on-line, just [URL='http://www.duckduckgo.com']www.duckduckgo.com[/URL] it. By the way, I am from rural America too. Several call themselves 'gunsmiths', 'cause they can assemble a 1911 or an AR,,,,,, and, if ya' don't mind hap-hazard work. In gunsmithing, machining ain't everything (even though I have been a job shop machinist since '74). I do much more then fit custom barrels and brakes, and build custom rifles. Those same guys who like "custom " have high quality handguns and shotguns that need repair/modifications, too. A competent repairman or metal finisher can stay as busy as he wants to be, as can a stockmaker, and not just wood stocks but with those synthetic blanks, too (High Tech Specialties, MPI, Brown Precision just to name a few).
