I have a few friends that attended it in the late forties, so any advice they would have is likely very outdated. But you're going the a very good school!! 0 -
Cool, study hard. 0 -
Its a good thing that you see the value of a good trade to insure your future. I think that would be an interesting course of study.
Good Luck!0 -

The one on west Colfax?
I have taken a number of guns in there to be worked on.
Good school.0 -
I graduated from Trinidad State Junior College in Dec. There is alot of rivalary between the two but one of the best "smiths" I know have come from CST. My advise is to study up on "triggernometrics" and machining. Pay attention to details and learn to look through your finish and you will be amazed at what you will see. Glad to see anybody go into the field, no matter what school you go to, WELCOME!!!

Oh, and don't forget that each gun you work on, no matter of your opinion of it, is somebody's prized possession.

all good points and it is very good to hear that i have chosen a good school. i have respect for all guns no matter who owns them or their condition, i have a little pistol that is just about as usefull as a paper weight but i will not part with it and i am very retentive about its maintenance and condition. 0
