[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1763250, member: 24284"] No truer words have been said, "There are a lot of people who don't know what they don't know". But, you don't need to go to gunsmith school to learn to chamber. If you would go that route, you'd learn a lot more than that. Basic manual machining skills are all that's needed to accomplish a good chambering job. That and money to spend on an appropriate lathe and tooling. If you have no machining experience, I might suggest a NRA Summer Gunsmithing class in basic machining followed up with the NRA class in threading and chambering. At least you be getting instruction from qualified people that way. There's much, much more to gunsmithing than fitting up a rifle barrel. Unfortunately for the trade, the machining is about the only focus these days, while much of the other skills that used to make a "gunsmith" are neglected or ignored. Those NRA Summer Schools are only a week long and are taught at various gunsmithing schools coast to coast. [/QUOTE]
