[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1359769, member: 2736"] I would recommend starting at the beginning and learn the basics first. Dave Manson sells a good book to start with By John Hinnant. First step is to understand the basics of achieving accuracy. Start with factory rifles and learn how to make them shoot better by using the basics of cleaning, bedding, floating, trigger work, stock fit and finish, and loading for a particular rifle/pistol. When you start to see results/improvements then expand your knowledge buy reading and using many of the Gunsmithing Books that specialize in certain parts of Gunsmithing. Take it slow and don't get in a hurry, It will come. make every job better than the last and this will serve you well. At some point, you will/should want to take some courses in a good gun smith school. you will understand and get more from the school if you have some previous knowledge. Gunsmiths are not made in a few years. In fact you never stop learning if you want to be a good Gunsmith. Just My Recommendation J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
