Being a gunsmith requires a great amount of attention to detail to get things correct. Not to be too snarky, but your run-on post without proper punctuation means some of that is lacking.
Yes, there are schools to go to, but you really need to apprentice with a great smith for several to many years. There's a little more to this than watching a few You-Tube videos and starting to work on other people's guns. If you do not have a business background, you should start there by getting some college courses and business experience. I have seen too many try to start a gunsmith or gun selling business - only to fail because they had no idea about running a business, employees, taxes, insurances, etc.
IF you become REALLY good, then yes, you can make a decent living doing this - but that means more than just mounting scopes and putting on recoil pads......
Good luck in your quest - we need more folks to become gunsmiths as the older ones retire and die off.
