| Are there any gunsmithing classes offered in or around PDX? Even a full college program? It seems like all the ones I've heard about are down in the southern states and that's just a little too far for me to commute. |

I didn't see any doing a search for gunsmith programs in oregon, but I'd call some local gunsmith shops to ask them about apprenticeships, especially if you have machine time...or ask them about the basic classes you would need to at least start. Here are some links/numbers I came across on the net: in Fossil, OR: http://www.grayguns.com/index.htm August Firearms Repair Aloha, OR 503-591-9081 http://www.revelationarms.com/contact.html Pacific Tool and Gauge PO BOX 2549 - 598 Ave C White City, Oregon 97503 1-541-826-5808 Long G F Pistolsmith Gunsmith Medford, OR Phone: (541) 476-7552 I am sure someone could help point you in the right direction! ETA: I vaguely came across some correspondence courses (just google that in) but I'd highly reccommend asking about apprenticing ...some may be willing to do it! |
