they came to the Armoury one drill and talked to us, I was a school trained 2111 small arms repairman in the Marine Corps and was not impressed with the curriculum. If you want my opinion save your money, maybe get some of the DVDs from AGI or go to one of the Gunsmith schools the NRA recommends.

i cant go to a gunsmith school unless there is one around Houston and i looked at agi but it seemed out dated

outdated ? a Glock is still a Glock after 20 years, a 1911 has been the same for 100 years. not much changes except accessories to add to them. I've never used the AGI stuff, but have watched their FAL video, the guy seemed to know plenty about what he was talking about. You're probably not going to learn much from an online class unless you know almost nothing now. Murray State College in Oklahoma would be the shortest move for you to go to a real gunsmithing school.
