Gunsmithing Course 3
Course Overview
Every gunsmith needs to know about ballistics so they can understand the pressure created in the chamber of a firearm. By the same token, every shooter should know ballistics so they can adjust their sighting for different ranges. Reloading your own ammunition will save you money and allow you to create ammunition, which will achieve maximum performance in your firearms. In our final Gunsmithing course, students will learn how to achieve maximum performance in firearms, as well as receive a comprehensive overview of the AR-15 style firearm. As a lab, students will build an 80% lower receiver of an AR-15. Gunsmithing can be a wonderful hobby, but it can also become very profitable if student keep in mind the tricks of the trade as learned throughout our course. As a part of our Gunsmithing- Course 3 program, we cover firearm laws, bookkeeping, the importing and exporting of firearms, and the federal guidelines that must be followed in running a Gunsmithing business.
