Summer Gunmaking Seminars in Montana
I am organizing Summer Seminars for 2016 and wonder if any of you are interested in attending the Intro to Custom Stockmaking or Small Shop Metal Finishing: Rust Bluing?

The Metal Finishing class would entail rust bluing a couple of gun parts you brought pre-polished and complete hand polishing of a rifle action ready to rust blue. Also Nitre bluing and discussion of other blung and polishing techniques.

The Stockmaking class would entail inletting a Mauser or M-70 or single shot into a machined stock and would require having a barreled action and stock blank. I can help finding someone to do the stock machining.
There would be a lot of lecture and demonstration and we might make a couple of chisels or scrapers.

The Metal Finishing:Rust Bluing Seminar will be the last week in June 20-24, 2016.
The Stockmaking seminar will be the first week in September 5-9, 2016.
Tuition would be $1675 for 5 days.

These classes typically fill very quickly.
Please let me know ASAP or give me a call if you have questions: 406-222-9377

Best,
Steven Dodd Hughes

I will be asking for deposits on March 1, 2016 and finalizing classes by March 15, 2016. I'm pretty sure two slots in each class are filled and four students is maximum for personal instruction.
If you are seriously interested in attending, now is the time, please call:
406-222-9377
I'll be glad to answer your question.

Jerry Fisher rifle disassembled on my bench for examination, might as well study the best, eh?

Looks like the Stockmaking is full up, pending deposits. There are still two benches for the metal Prep Rust Bluing Seminar...

A great opportunity to refine your metal preparation skill to professional quality, or for continuing education credits.
