There's also a 2-year Gunsmithing program at Wabash Valley Community College in Mt. Carmel, IL. It's probably the closest one to you the next would be Pine Technical College, 70 miles north of the twin cities in Minnesota.
I went to Pine Tech's 2-year course and really liked it. The 1st year is centered around gun repair and assembly/disassembly of firearms. Pine Tech is unique among most resident gunsmithing schools in that they have a vault with hundreds of firearms to dissassemble. The 2nd year is when you get to the more in depth subjects: machine shop, barrel chambering, blueing/painting, stock making, etc.
Pine Tech has also added a new 18-month course call Prototype Gunsmithing and is for people who would like to become firearms designers.
