In my experience , you can fix just about anything with a hammer….the screwdrivers and punches are just a bonus.
As far as the acraglass and gun sav’r I can tell you they work great. I have used both quite a bit. Make sure to use plenty of release or floor wax with glas or the stock will never come off again.
As a recent graduate of Montgomery community college I will say that if you can it is very important to get into a brick and mortar school or work under a gunsmith. The difference between an armorer and gunsmith is the ability to problem solve and the gunsmith also is a machinist. Some initial problems could be very difficult without having someone with experience to ask questions.
Montgomery community college offers curriculum gunsmithing but also week and weekend nra classes. Uwharrie National forest is a close by option to camp if it is a long distance. This school is one of the top NRA rated gunsmithing schools.
First of all nice selection on your expanding your Prepping knowledge base. You will be a great commodity in a grid down approach to life or when the Leftist agenda bars gunsmithing.
This is excellent. Very happy to see that you are your way. I didn’t anticipate that the course would ship with a set of basic tools. That’s interesting. I won’t bore you with my background but I will offer a word on self-paced and self-disciplined training from my own experience both teaching others and teaching myself. The total number of hours per week is less important than not skipping planned days. Stopping and starting kills off many otherwise smart and dedicated pros regardless of occupation. Of course, loving what you’re learning moderates this effect some. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks.
Enjoyed your description of the program. I myself am a graduate of Trinidad State’s program. Suggest you attend their NRA summer school classes (like machine shop I & II) and accurizing the 1911 class. With a human instructor you getting access to their knowledge, experience and even the tools the school has.
When I had spare time and access to lathes and mills, I’ve made a special tool for installing the magazine release on a Mini-14 trigger group that was based on the one I saw when I got a tour of the Ruger factory. Made a simple tool for polishing a revolver’s cylinder too. I even made a tool for forming patchboxes (for flintlock and caplock longarms). A fun project was a barrel vise, but you can buy them cheap enough.
BTW, I also took eight classes at Lassen College and had several under Bob Dunlap, the chief instructor at AGI. I did watch his Colt SAA revolver one and thought it was good.
