How much 1911 gun smithing experience needed?
I have taken a 1911 apart a few times and managed to get it back together! Can learn quick! |

You just need a basic understanding of the parts involved and how they function. It's recommended to read the kuenhausen books, but not required. You've got plenty of time to get familiar.

HOLY FOOK!!!!!!!
I'm sorry but $1500 for a 5 day course is freaking steep...I don't care who is teaching it. I could see about half that....Hope you fill it up though. Good luck! |

It kind of depends on how one looks at it. If you're like me, an interested hobbyist who wouldn't mind having a 1911 he built himself, then yeah its steep. If you're a gunsmith wanting to get the skills required to break into the custom 1911 business, this is about right. I imagine that this class is geared more toward the gunsmith than the hobbyist. |

I'm pretty sure it would take more than five days to turn you into a full blown 1911 custom smith....maybe I'm wrong

Larry Vickers class is about twice what this one costs. If you guys know people that may not visit this site, please spread the word. I'll need at least 4 more people to sign up before we can lock it in. Building a 1911 is not anything like assembling an AR15. Many people try to build their first 1911 on their own and end up with a total piece of junk that doesn't run. This class is geared to the hobbyist that wants to learn the right way from someone that knows what they are doing and has the resources to take the class. If you know someone interested have them get in touch with me. [email protected]
Thanks |

I bet if you include Oklahoma and Kansas in the announcement you'd get a bite or two.
