These are likley to be "armorer" rather than "gunsmith" classes. I doubt they will cover all of the finer fitting points in my earlier post.S&W and Sig both offer 1911 courses.
I've been searching online and cannot find much. I'm looking to build 1911's for (mostly) fun and (some) profit. Planning on buying serialized frame, slides & internals and if I sell it will be on consignment through an FFL. Not planning on direct sales, this will be a "profitable hobby, not be a business.
I'm familiar with the 1911 platform, field & detail strip. Want to learn the finer details of assembly, part fitting & tuning. I already have a list of tools needed.
All Colt's courses seem to be for active LEO's & .Mil, Sig Academy has a course but it's in Oklahoma City and seems to be more maintenance oriented than assembly. The offering by American Gunsmithing Institute is video only and I want "in person" instruction.
There's a place in Randolph, NJ; RTSP range & Firearms offering a two day course which might work for me. Anybody here know about them or any place which offers an 1911 armorer's course ?
I'd prefer to stay in New England but I'm willing to drive a day away if necessary. Not gonna fly.
You're right about that. Also some require you be active LEO.These are likley to be "armorer" rather than "gunsmith" classes. I doubt they will cover all of the finer fitting points in my earlier post.
