yes I was just looking on amazon for gunsmithing books, and I will check out the places you told me to check out. I am very close to pulling the trigger on going to school for it, but the only thing holding me back is whether or not in the area I live in will it be worth it due to the laws, and the other stores nearby. But then again, do what you love, and love what you do right. as far as the tools go i def always use the right ****. I went and ordered the Wheelers kit online for the smith and Wesson mp15 rifle in 5.56 so that i could work on it the right way, and learn more about the tools that are out there.
