Has anyone taken or know anything about the AGI lathe course by Darrell Holland? i know he is a reknowned gunsmith, but I am wondering if this course is worth the money. Thanks Clem
haven't heard about the course, the cost or where it is held. I know that Mark Stratton is putting one on at Trinidad State in Colorado this summer as part of the NRA summer gunsmithing program. i am not sure what his class entails but I took his barrel fitting class in 99 and it was fantastic.
My cost for the class then including tuiting and room and board was around $450 for the week. One hell of a bargain in my mind.

I just did a search and found it on the net. Video course for $479. I will take the week in Trinidad with a wealth of equipment and good instruction over that. BTW, I got 4 barrels fitted, 5 receivers surface ground and a quarter rib pretty much complete in the week. And had almost no lathe experience before I went.

Until they come up with a gunsmithing video that can reach out and smack you when you screw up, the money spent for "hands on" training is the best value going...
