[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2325429, member: 30309"] Or, and I am just throwing this out there, you take your classes and get a good base of knowledge and start doing things part time. FFL is required to be a pro gunsmith these days. I would encourage you to go for it! It's also important to realize that not all gunsmiths do custom work. Some specialize in restorations, some specialize in repair, some it full-auto only. . .some custom work or safari rifles etc. . . There are lots of avenues to take, but all gunsmiths all require the same basic skill levels and understanding of how to use metalworking and wood working tools. (hand checkering, for example, takes specialized skills) [/QUOTE]
