[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 499829, member: 2011"] The 'tuition' is going to be steep no matter how one looks at it. I would recommend that instead of going to a "gun smith" school take some machining classes at a VoTech school. Or hire on as a floor sweeper at a local machine shop and move up. Or, even work there for free. Anything for good experience. I've noticed that the "smiths" on here fall into a certain temperament group. Each is a unique individual in their own right but have a common character thread. As much as I'd like to do that kind of thing I just don't have the character for it. To invest the time and dollars for schools etc and learn that you can't make a good rifle would be depressing, I would think. Study the successful rifle smiths on here and see how they slowly made the move to full time rifle making. That is an education in itself. [/QUOTE]
