I live a little west of Houston. Retired last week and am looking for a gunsmithing school. Hopefully, within 200 miles. Can anyone help me out?

Murray State College is in Tishomingo, OK. Just on the north end of Lake Texacoma (or something like that). I took a summer course there (rifle rebarreling) and the equipment and facilities are top-notch in my opinion. Instructors were very knowledgeable and I learned about twice what I expected.

Trinidad State Junior college in Trinidad Colorado is excellent. The NRA holds one of their summer gunsmithing schools there and it is an incredible bargain. I attended a class in 1999 and there was a fellow from TX who had retired just like you.

Check with Mark Stratton his email is octbarrel@aol.com

Mark is teaching a class again this summer and can give you the contacts.

If there are no gunsmithing courses nearby, you might look into machine tool technology courses at technical colleges. - John

Willie, I am a student at Murray State and I can tell you it is top notch. You will never find a school with the amount of machinery and tools as MSC. Email me if you need any details or contact info.
