“As a Retired Veteran and a Federal Firefighter with plans to retire in 8 years, I need to plan for a small part-time to keep my hands busy. MGS Trade School’s Advanced Gunsmithing courses will enable me to prep for my very own gunsmithing business.
I am not currently employed within the gunsmithing business, but I have always been a gun(s) enthusiast. This course allows me to retain the know-how and content well beyond the course itself. As a gunsmithing reference alone, it is worth the investment.
I learned a lot and am looking forward on continuing education with MGS. Excellent customer service, knowledgeable staff and online student services all produced an outstanding job mixing up theory, practical applications, and video demonstrations.”
