[QUOTE="dgarrett, post: 1477270, member: 58686"] True Machinist are becoming a lost breed... The loss of the apprenticeship programs from big industry where many were taught... They started as machinist helpers... Maybe did nothing but grunt work for a few years... learned to sharpen cutting tools and every little thing it took to become a real machinist before they were even turned loose on a lathe or milling machine... They knew math and probably 100000 different things that have nothing to do with building a rifle...Started on small easy jobs and finally worked up...People stayed in the same job with the same companies back then and worked years to wait till the head machinist retired to take over his position.... With that said the typical gunsmith does not need that kind of Know How or that in-debt Training.... They don't need the knowledge to build every part of the space shuttle to unreal specs just to build a very very good rifle... JMO Dave [/QUOTE]
