Fellow gun enthusiasts,
I am a junior in high school this year and I'm trying to get a jump on where I might want to go to college. Firearms have become a passion of mine over the years and I would really love to be a gunsmith one day...maybe owning my own store and creating custom weopons. I have been trying to find a decent school that offers degrees in gunsmithing as a trade but have been hard pressed to do so. If any of you has any knowledge of a school you would recommend, I would find it helpful to be made aware. Anything you know of i would at least do some research on, so don't be shy. Thank you and please respond, I've got plenty of time.
 
My guess would be that gunsmithing would be more of a vocational degree rather than a college course of study. I am not aware of any college or university offering a formal degree in gunsmithing. If you want a college degree, consider a business degree, and find courses in gunsmithing, machine work, etc., outside of your university studies.
 
Hello Oneshot. In NC, around 7-8 different community colleges offer single gunsmithing classes as minimal cost Continuing Education classes. Previous experience with most tasks is very helpful, if not expected under these conditions. For a complete program with degree-earned potential and more complete machine shop skills, the following are the only two schools I am aware of with this curriculum. Both have great reputations. Best of luck.
