MGS Trade School Lowers Tuition Across All Programs
April 2025: MGS Trade School is excited to announce reduced tuition costs across all our programs (Basic Gun Repair, Advanced Gunsmithing, and Advanced Gunsmithing II). Our new tiered pricing allows students who pay in full to save hundreds on the total price of their desired course.
MGS Trade School’s programs offer students the opportunity to “learn the repair, maintenance, and restoration skills [they] need to become a gunsmith. As a top gunsmithing training school, we utilize hands-on projects and time-tested curriculum to help [students] learn at [their] pace and from [their] own workbench.” We strive to make payment as flexible as possible for our students by providing no-interest payment plans for everyone, no matter what your circumstances are.
As of April 2nd, 2025, students can now enroll in any of our three courses for a discounted price when paying in full or choosing Payment Plan I. You only pay the previous full price when selecting Payment Plan II.
Due to the tiered tuition, students may only upgrade to Advanced Gunsmithing II during their time with MGS.
Students can enroll in our Basic Gun Repair course for as little as $1,759, saving $440 from the previous price of $2,199 when paying in full. When selecting Payment Plan I, students can opt to put $99 down and pay $89 monthly, with a total tuition cost of $1,937. Meanwhile, Payment Plan II requires $99 down with monthly payments of $69. Payment Plan II will pay the previous tuition cost of $2,199.
MGS’s Basic Gun Repair Course offers fundamental gun repair techniques for students to take their passion to the next level. Designed by industry experts, students will learn how to properly clean, adjust, and fine-tune a variety of firearms. It includes 31 lessons and 4 hands-on bench projects delivered right to their door.
When enrolling in Advanced Gunsmithing, students can pay $2,192 in full at the time of enrollment and save $548. Payment Plan I requires a $99 down payment. Students can then pay $99 a month, for a total tuition cost of $2,475. Payment Plan II also requires a $99 down payment and monthly payments of $69, totaling the previous tuition cost of $2,740.
MGS’s Advanced Gunsmithing program is designed for those interested in a career in the firearms industry or in opening their own gunsmith business. It is comprised of 65 lessons, and 7 projects, offering a comprehensive education on the firearms industry. It covers everything from the basics of gun repair to the business of professional gunsmithing.
Advanced Gunsmithing II offers the highest savings of all three courses. When paying the full $4,794, students will save $1,198 from the previous price of $5,992. If students select Payment Plan I, they will pay $99 as a down payment and then $199 monthly, for a total tuition cost of $5,472. This plan saves students $520. Meanwhile, Payment Plan II also requires $99 as a down payment but is set up for monthly payments of $149. Students who select Payment Plan will ultimately pay for the previous tuition price of $5,992.
Our Advanced Gunsmithing II program covers all the bases—students learn the same gunsmithing techniques and practices offered in our Advanced Gunsmithing Program and more! Select one of four firearm platform builds and go through the construction process. Imagine combining course knowledge with the knowledge of the inner workings of a firearm through a build project, plus receiving an extensive tool kit to help jumpstart a career in the firearms industry.
