How to become a gunsmith?

Career: Gunsmith

Some Gunsmith positions only require a vocational school certificate or significant work experience in the trade, while others need an associate degree in gunsmithing. In these educational programs, you study the basics of the trade, including how to work with wood and metal, identify and repair problems with different guns, and maintain and calibrate the weapons properly. Gunsmiths must meet federal requirements for the Federal Firearms License (FFL), which includes a background check.
