There are none. Become a certified CNC machinist, get a degree in CAD, go to a reputable gunsmithing school, apprentice with a gun maker, get your own 07 FFL and go from there.

Re: Gun Manufacturing schools??
A degree in mechanical engineering probably wouldn't hurt either.

After learning to be a machinist you could try to get a job at one of the established arms makers like Remington, High Standard, Winchester, Ruger, etc. The only manufacturer I know in Texas is High Standard.Carry-a-Kimber wrote:There are none.

Re: Gun Manufacturing schools??
That's a good point! After you finished making the gun you would have to destroy it so you wouldn't get arrested.Carry-a-Kimber wrote:FTW!!7075-T7 wrote:Guns are illegal in schools.x007x wrote:Does anyone know any Gun Manufacturing schools in Texas?
