[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3429606, member: 5412"] I can kinda see where the OP wants to start with crap guns as a training issue. Turn a $100 .22 crapfire into an accurate rifle is a lesson learned. The fact it would not make it a $500 tack driver rifle is understood in his opinion as I understand because its a training gun only. He needs to learn the basics of making a crap gun into a tack driver to establish a reputation and then move on to that specific caliber/platform to create a reputation among the gun community. Some on this forum have done that. One of the greatest gun makers in this country is JJ Perodeau that lives/works in Ok. He had to do years of apprenticeship in Belgium before allowed to actually touch a firearm and then he had to apprentice under a master gunmaker. (notice I did not say gunsmith) A person can aspire to be a gunsmith with general knowledge of guns,machining and the ability to repair just about anything. A gun maker is the next level beyond.
