At MGS, we proudly offer accredited, quality gunsmithing programs to military members, veterans, and their families. Our Advanced Gunsmithing courses are particularly attractive to military servicemen and women for several reasons: they complement the benefits you’ve earned, cater to your interest in firearms, and offer flexible scheduling, allowing you to study on your own terms, whenever and wherever life takes you.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® offers educational financial support for veterans with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or that have been discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. If you have received an honorable discharge, you are eligible.

The MGIB program provides up to 36 months of education benefits for veterans. Generally, benefits are payable for 10 years following your release from active duty. This program is also commonly known as Chapter 30.

“Thank you, MGS Staff. I took this course to further my knowledge in the gun-repair business and to start my own business. From my research, Modern Gun School has the most extensive and informative curriculum available. The self-paced study program was appealing, as was the post-graduation assistance offered. The Online Student Center was extremely helpful. Any time I had a question or concern, I was able to quickly get answers or assistance. My overall experience with Modern Gun School was outstanding. Not only were there detailed lessons on the firearms, but there was the history, business and actual workshop—I don’t think any other school could compare.”
“I researched two different gunsmithing schools and found the tuition was too high and both were several hours away from where I live. With 2 young kids at home, it wasn’t a realistic option. I kept searching and came across MGS. It sounded too good to be true but thankfully it wasn’t! I’m now the proud owner of Front Range Firearm Repair & Maintenance LLC here in Canon City, Colorado, I opened my doors in August 2021 and not a day has gone by that I haven’t had a customer’s firearm in my shop. I’m so very thankful I found MGS and took the chance on starting a new career. I’ve never been happier in my Life and truly enjoy what I do…”
