Hi, I will be getting out of the Navy soon and going to work at a shooting range. Does anybody know which gunsmithing course is widely accepted and accredited?

Well im almost done high school and I dont want to go to college but I do want to become a gunsmith. My idea is to legally build ak's CHEAP and sell them. what will this cost me? Where will I be able to go to a gunsmith school. What equipment will I need i want to use the Flat receivers. I know i will have to get an FFL right?

They say you find a job you like and youll never work a day in your life well this is mine.

I just become a certified gunsmith and looking for a little help on charge rates. As far as what everybody is charging for cleaning, scope install, sight work etc...

Thanks,
Steve

I finally get to post on here again. We moved and I lost andforgot my password and username so I had to browse back trough previous topics from a year ago. Now to my question are those at home learning courses on gunsmithing that you see on t.v worth it or is it better just to get some books and do lots of reading
Thanks for your time.[:p]
