Default Re: Military Gunsmiths

you guys are the reason I went to school to be a gunsmith, and the reason i continue to seek knowledge. I graduated In the 97th percentile of the Gun-Pro program of the Penn Foster Career Institute. I have had a blood lust for firearms since I was old enough to shoot my first .410. Owning them wasnt enough for me. I had to understand them, know them. When A gun goes off I dont see a simple muzzle flash and a hole in the target, I see a mechanical masterpiece in motion, utilizing the chemical and physical forces required to operate the action. I see a well designed assembly of art. For me firearms are not just a hobby. they are one of my dearest passions.

Allow me to be the sponge of this group, and the fruits of your knowledge be the water
