[QUOTE="SCdeerhunter, post: 1359743, member: 101866"] So it's pretty much always been a dream of mine to work on rifles. Where would you guys suggest I start? I don't intend to make a living doing it. Just a small hobby/side business(as in working on friends rifles). Would like to be able to true actions, rebarrel, install muzzle brake, etc. Obviously I'd need a lathe and all the specialized equipment. Is it possible to learn all this by trial and error? I'd like to find some courses in machine work, etc. Moving to Colorado next year for work and know there's a couple trade school's out there that offer gunsmithing but I'm not sure if I could do it with the work schedule. Not in any particular rush to do all this but would like to be able to within the next 5 years or so. So, where would you guys suggest I start? Thanks, David Edit- I would like some sort of formal education on the matter to avoid having a rifle blow up in my face lol. Not the sort to read stuff online and try to attempt it unless it's from a very credible source [/QUOTE]
