The American Gunsmithing Institute, producers of the most authoritative instructional gunsmithing DVD courses, provide students with the right education and skills to start making money at the hobby they love. AGI’s professional gunsmithing course helps students become certified gunsmiths.
With AGI’s Master Gunsmithing Program, students receive the same professional training that is used by Law Enforcement, Professional Gunsmiths and other elite firearms specialists without leaving the comfort of their homes. The program teaches students the complete design, function and repair of firearms with step-by-step instructions on DVD. AGI’s instruction is seamless and the camera gives detailed close ups, allowing for detail not visible in any classroom setting.
The Gunsmithing Program is taught by Master Gunsmith, Bob Dunlap. The course DVD instruction provides a systematic, completely indexed format, allowing students to repeat any section as necessary to maximize retention.
The Gunsmithing Program is broken into three options: Professional Gunsmith – Level 1, Professional Gunsmith – Level 2 and the Professional Gunsmith – Master Level.
Master Gunsmith Program
The Professional Gunsmith – Level 1 is comprised of more than 40 DVDs and provides students with everything they need to know to get started. Consisting of 108 hours of core DVD instruction in design, function and repair, this fundamental knowledge is a must have to work on and repair firearms. Students start with a complete introduction to gunsmithing and a course overview, followed by a methodical progression through four core sections covering pistols and revolvers, shotguns, rifles and rimfires.
In addition to the 108 hours of tested education, level 1 also includes 32 hours of bonus instruction exploring such things as glass bedding, custom firearms building and high end accessorizing.
Complete Machine Shop Course The Professional Gunsmith – Level 2 takes the student’s gunsmithing knowledge and skill to the next level, which includes general machine shop knowledge and how to operate a mill and lathe. This course provides them with the skill to manufacture the parts they may not be able to find commercially to properly make repairs or fine tune a firearm. This 30 hour course is VERY comprehensive in scope and application.
Level 2 includes everything from Level 1, plus bonus courses which explore such things as advanced trigger jobs and systems, professional metal finishing, hot caustic bluing, how to treat carbon steels, case hardening and others.
