[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1836994, member: 24284"] I attended (and graduated) from a 2yr gunsmithing program (MCC Class of '93) then enrolled for another 2 semesters as an 'auditing' student. 'Auditing' gave me access to all the gunsmithing dept and more knowledge and guidance from the instructors. Through all of that, "assembling parts" was not part of the curriculum. Machining skills and hand work, that was what was taught (and how to work your way through the 'problems'). We did assemble some parts,,,,, hand fitted parts (assemble the mechanism. does it work? take it apart and address (at the most basic level with hand tools, files & stones) the parts that won't allow it to function. assemble and test again, until it works as intended). What you are describing is essentially putting together a 'kit', where everything just 'fits' together without much (or any!) alteration. Try an AR15. [/QUOTE]
