This should help.
I guess you go to a school for it, get in debt, and wait years for someone to hire you.
Have fun waiting tables for years to pay for a degree to get you a career that makes less money than waiting tables.

I tried that already, all I saw was online schools.

Thank you, are they any good?

No of course not it's one of those "online" colleges that offer bullshit courses that scam you for money. Put that on your resume and people will laugh at you.

>How to become a gunsmith?
You take a mildly broken firearm and repair it. You take a firearm, then move it closer to optimum. You think about a firearm or firearm component, then design it. You modify, improve, alter, tinker, convert.
It is like being an inventor. As with every thing it "starts" with disassembling the firearm then putting it back together again, again and again. Thinking about how it operates, thinking about how it could operate better.

You first have to become a Blacksmith.
And then get shot by the cops.
OP you should just get a job at a gun manufacturer.
mfw i want to work at daniel defense but have no cnc background.

1. Download the Ark torrent
2. Watch all the AGI videos
3. Go to school for CnC, CAD or similar stuff
4. Delete the gym, hit the lawyer, facebook up
5. Build your own shooting range, fake SF background, offer courses
6. Import lots of yak oil straight from Mongolia, sell it as the next best shit in gun lubrication (Khan-o-laOIL®©)
7. Write a book about how killed Bin Laden and how you shoot looters at the black friday sale from the top of walmart
same place you become a tv repairman, guns are pretty much in the disposable price range senpai
Install a scope properly by putting a level on the open mount them the turret.
Install a barrel nut by using grease and "seating" the threads.
How do you learn all this stuff before having to do it?
How did Larry Potterfield learn?

Gunsmith student here. The school I go to regularly has employers coming in to interview students and a bulletin board with open positions across the country.
I have yet to see someone graduate without having a job lined up before graduating. If you're waiting tables as a gunsmith, you haven't looked for jobs.

There are schools. Two I know of are SDI and PA Gunsmith. Dunno about SDI, but PA Gunsmith has a year - two year waiting list to get in (it's really small). That being said, I've also heard from multiple people that it's one of the best gunsmith schools in the country.

Scratch SDI. As someone else said it's an online school. I confused it with the Colorado School of Trades.

jesus that's good

I have that keyboard with the newer switches that everyone loves to hate. I fucking love them.

To add to what this anon said, it's a trade school. The debt that >>29476076 implies is fucking laughable compared to a bachelors degree. Most of the good ones will give you resources for housing and jobs while you're in school and you learn so many skills like machining, woodworking and business managment
that getting stuck as a server is just a personal failure.
It may not be glamourous and you won't suddenly become Jason Burton right out of school but you can sure as hell get placed easily enough or snag your ffl or slap together parts kits. Now, buying too long for your own business is where debt comes in
