There isn't a school in Kansas that I know of. Like diyj98 said, videos don't make a gunsmith. EXAMPLE: We were just looking at a Savage 99 two days ago in class that someone had watched a video and decided that they would drill and tap the receiver for a scope. Well he didn't have the proper equipment to do it and before it was over he had drilled six holes in the front ring and six on the tang. He basically drilled his gun in half and killed it.[]

Colorado School of Trades (CST) is the only one that teaches gunsmithing only. Others like Trinidad are community colleges that require you to take english and other courses for credits. CST is just outside of Denver, Trinidad is in southern Colorado, There is one in Pensylvania I think, another in California. I am sure that there are more around i just don't know of them.

The school costs about $18,000 for 14 months of training. This includes your tool issue, barrel, walnut stock, synthetic stock, all of the materials that you use, etc..... It is full time only, no part time training is offered. Most all of the manufacturers come to the school to teach armorers classes so that you will be certified to do warranty work on fire arms. (Remington, Glock, Mossberg, Beretta, S&W, Sig (C.S.T. only), and others.

As I have found out there is a heck of a lot more to being a gunsmith than I ever thought possible. Lets just say that I am glad that I didn't try to do this from a video, correspondants courses, or any of the other "learn at home" thingies.

If you want any specifics PM me or just ask here. Good luck!
