It's just that.. wondering if anyone has any direct experience (or knowledgeable information) with/about different gunsmithing schools. I'm leaning away from "for profit" places, and figured it may be better to get a certificate, and a degree (probably from an NRA certified school).
I'd like a pretty well-rounded education/experience..(Don't want to be a master at carving stocks, and nothing else.) I do appreciate my classics, don't get me wrong.. But every shade-tree gunsmith works on people's levers.. but can't get around a whippersnappers slam-bam autoloader.. Which more lately have been tickling my pink a bit more.
Any thoughts on the Montgomery program in SC? I've asked a few local counter commando's.. Who rant about "this guy graduated from *random school*, and doesn't know jack." But if I had to light a room, I wouldn't pick the bulbs that work at the gun stores around here.
Hope that semi makes sense.
Sorry if this thread is more of a strand.
Thanks in advance.
