[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 3429691, member: 17621"] Come see me. I am a licensed gunsmith and I'm not an expert* and I can't teach you everything I know over a cup of coffee but I can tell you what works for me and what didn't. I've been tinkering on guns for somewhere around 35 years or so and done work on guns for several here on the forum**. I've had quite a bit of formal training but mostly informal training over the years. We will then tour my shop and then make a trip to my buddies shop here in town. You need to be a metalworker and a metallurgist. A woodworker. A machinist. A mechanic. The biggest thing you need to be is a diagnostician and a problem solver. I hate gunsmiths that start throwing parts at a gun until eventually they stumble around and get the right part in it, all at a cost to the customer. [USER=42291]@Gunbuffer[/USER] will be along shortly......... *When someone says they are an "expert", do your homework on them...... Jus' sayin'.... **hillaryisabum, sturgisrun, gerhard1, FPO, J460 (pending), Big50. [/QUOTE]
