[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 3673246, member: 47828"] One of the schools (I think Trinidad) had an entrance exam that requires the applicants to take a billet of mild steel and a mill bastard file and carve a perfect symmetrical 1" cube. If you are going to do bluing, you need a good head for chemistry and attention to details along with some quality equipment. These days finding parts can be quite a challenge. I can do alot of gun repair things. I have restored and customized guns, built 15 ARs over the years, But that doesn't make me "a gunsmith" My best guns I have done was converting Ruger Blackhawk to Bisley models, built a cool do it all scout rifle out of an Ishapore 308(orange based paint remover gel and roll up the gun parts in black plastic on a hot sunny day removes cosmoline easier, that Ishapore was caked in cosmoline.) I have built some nice home defense shotguns, a couple very accurate varmint rifles and done lots of parts replacement and gun upgrades for friends and family, but I am still not "a gunsmith" [/QUOTE]
