I can appreciate your concern,James,but our OP is going to gunsmith school.

I do not know where,but there is a school in Trinidad,Colorado that has a very good reputation,I seem to recall something about PO Ackley being involved with that program.

As I suggested,a student may pick up considerable machine tool and hand tool experience making his own kit of gunsmith tools.

I expect the grads of this program do not drill scope mount holes into chambers!

I admire his enthusiasm,and wish him the best.

Anything that makes a young man passionately want to go to school and learn......

Is not a parade to be rained on!!
