OK, if there are no WA schools (how about Oregon?) what do people think of the AGI DVD courses? I think I learn alot better form hands-on and direct experience, but failing that perhaps I will have to try the "watch TV" style of learning.
Some AGI courses are done by Bob Dunlap, who set up the gunsmith program at Lassen College in Susanville, CA, one of the best in the nation. Even so, nothing beats classroom instruction by a teacher who really knows his stuff.
