Conversation keeps coming up on what am i going to do now that I'm out of the service. I'm medically retired and hate dealing with people typically unless we have a common interest so my dream was always to open a gun store but that takes a lot of start up capitol that i just do not have. that and in todays day in age the guns do not make the profit but ammo sales, gear, and other little things like that typically do. it just doesn't seem profitable to me.
so i figure i will just use my GI Bill on something i would enjoy and thats why I'm here.
I know I'm most likely beating a dead horse to death but i was wondering if it would be better to find a gunsmith school so i can learn how to build my own bolt guns at some point or to take machining courses and courses in how to use a CNC.
i wouldn't mind learning the machining and cnc part and then working for a smith for free just to learn how to actually build a quality rifle.
I'm married so moving all of my crap to another state for a short time and returning to houston would be a pain in the arse. thats why i ask if learning the machine and cnc courses would be a good idea.
the draw back for the gunsmith course is also the fact i have little to no use of learning how to fix other peoples 1911s, revolvers, and other weapons. i just want to learn how to do my own work on my own weapons and maybe help my buddies out here and there.
thanks in advance
Mike
