Just curious, are there any gunsmithing schools in OZ? Do community colleges offer any programs? Where do you get your gunsmiths from if not?

There are no gunsmithing schools in Oz. Some of our gunsmiths have done their training in Europe or the USA, others are simply machinists who are also shooters and have taught themselves the trade of gunsmithing and then there are others who are just self-taught.

Accordingly, the quality of work varies considerably and there are some so-called gunsmiths who should be run out of town (or linched) while others could go toe-to-toe with any gunsmith on the planet.
