What is it like to attend a trade school? Modern society talks a lot about college, but not as much about what to expect from a hands-on program like CST offers. I posed my greatest questions to Ryan Lishner, the owner of the Colorado School of Trades, considering what a high school senior, or anyone else looking to get into gunsmithing may be wondering. Check it out in this video!

Anyone else miss the good ol days when not every video was a giant commercial for a company?

Went to Trinidad State Junior College for gunsmith training for 3 years. I had a great career and now I’m retired. These guys have a great program to. You will learn a lot going through this program but you really learn when you get into the workforce.

Great video Gavin I went to Colorado School of Gun Smithing in the early 80’s what I learned there I have use every day I ended up in the aviation business for the last 38 yrs I’m into guns and ur videos are awesome keep up the great work!.

Love seeing more stuff with CST, miss it so much. Not just the learning about a huge passion of mine, but the bonds created with some amazing students and instructors as well.

As someone that’s on their second career path, I’m actually a student at a trade school now (UTI NASCAR Tech for CNC Machining and Technology). For the kids going to school it’s intimidating. Now do it at 39. It’s rough. Granted, being older and previous career (US Navy retired, aviation maintenance) I’m use to having to adapt. I went through the traditional college and was bored. Not getting that at my trade school. Prime example, just last week, a student in the engine building class damaged a cylinder head by stripping the treads out of a valve cover stud. Well a couple of us got thrown at the job to fix it. I’ve done some of these repairs in aviation but not using a mill. The other 2 guys have never done it. The satisfaction you get from a repair of that nature will always beat a speech or essay of a typical 4 year college

Thanks for commenting. Did you get a 4-year degree from college?

It would be interesting seeing how CST, Trinidad, Montgomery Community College, and Yavapai all stack up against each other in terms of learning opportunities/techniques and processes taught.

My favorite piece to work on is a 1851 navy cap n ball revolver. The simplicity yet elegance. Thanks for bringing us this episode.

@benkuhle9412 Ай бұрын

Maybe they could teach how to fix a rifle like a mossberg patriot instead of just replacing every component to make a new one.

That was a train wreck. Gavin hasn’t acknowledged that. But if you look at the numbers he got a lot of views. That’s what these guys are all about. Him and backfire. I really feel I could have got that gun to shoot a 3 shot 1 moa group. I challenged Jim to send me the gun and he wouldn’t do it. I’m starting a KZfaq channel shortly for reloading, tuners, setting up guns, making guns shoot factory ammo they don’t like. I think that would be useful info. Not hey I did a new build.

I'm glad you did a piece on CST. I went on a tour there ~ 45 years ago. Sounds like much the same place now as when I visited. Life took me in a different direction but I still think about that school. I'm retired now and old and broken down from the years and trades I was involved in but there's still a small spark of life left in me. I wonder if I should wander down the street one of these days and visit that school again... Another career for me?

Probably a program that teaches production. Laying out and tooling up an efficient manufacturing facility having traditional USA quality and safety.....😊

I would think that salary is very dependent on the person, location, are you running your own shops, working for someone else, etc.

@BloodEagle. Ай бұрын

About $50k is average for the US

One at a time. One firearm, one customer, one job. How many customers will come? How much do they want to pay? How many hours are in a day? Probably the meat isn't in being a master gunsmith.😊

LCC is the way to go. Lassen Community College if you want a degree in Gunsmithing instead of a certificate.

The problem with trade schools, is if they are paying they are staying and get a diploma, doesnt mean they know anything,tell the truth, because your vids are nothing but sales ads these days

What a load of rubbish. If you can say anything smart best not to say anything because you come across as foolish and that’s being nice.
