Lads -
Had a change of employment status last week. This frees me up to pursue gunsmithing.
I have a slot in CSM (Ret) Massingill's Introduction to Gunsmithing class in July at Trinidad State in CO. I intend to stay after this class for Basic Machine Shop as the first class on the road to securing the NRA Gunsmithing certificate. That merit badge will require 7 more classes, plus tools and project material. Then will need to find a suitable mill and lathe.
If any of you have contacts in the KC area in machine shops for employment before I go to the classes (and likely afterwards as well) please give me a shout.
If any of you have any leads on good paying work as an interim measure before and after the classes, please let me know.
BTW - when AZDave found out what I was doing he offered to send me a project from his shop just to help get me started. Very awesome guy there!
Thanks for all of your great help!
