Nick @derelict.dirigibles and Dan @ObraArms design and build the guns of their dreams. The passion these students have for the firearms industry is beyond reproach. @customgunmakers #pagunsmithschool #startyourcareer #maacsschools #dowhatyoulove #becausegunsmith #gunsmithy

A couple weeks ago I started school at Pennsylvania Gunsmith School in the Master Gunsmith Program. The first two weeks we were in our introduction which consisted of tool making. During these two weeks we focused on plan layouts, hacksawing, filing, hand polishing, soldering, forging and more. Every tool we made can be or will be used later on in this school. I have learned a lot since becoming a student here and I love the work I am doing this far. I am excited to share my experience here and will post more of the work I do as we progress into the semester and on. Thank the Lord for this opportunity!

Proudly sharing that we received the Community Service Award at the annual @maacs_us conference this year. It was our program of cleaning and maintaining the qualifying and duty firearms of the local, county and state police in our area. The staff and students get valuable experience by collectively organizing a maintenance regimen that mirrors what service in the industry looks like.

If you love the @johnwickmovie then check out the few degrees of separation that @pagunsmithschool is from these engraved Encore's... @brianpowley got a limited set of prints of the actual engraved pistols from his close friend @melissamstudio who was the Engraver of these very pistols. Brian is our second semester engraving instructor at the school. He brought these prints in to share with the new students! So cool!

I over heard a student tell another that the reason they chose @pagunsmithschool was because you learned to make a stock from a blank.... We agree it's a very valuable lesson!

Visiting with @pagunsmithschool graduate Justin Popa owner of XRing Gunsmithing in Butler, Pennsyivania. He has a wide variety of equipment and is incredibly busy. Justin just told me that another @gunsmith not far away just passed away and all of his work is filtering to him. His most common job is Bluing but Cerakote is not far behind! With 2 part-timers, he may outgrow his facility and need larger quarters! Congratulations Justin on your success!! #mastergunsmith #gunsmithschool #pagunsmithschoolalumni #pagunsmithschool #gunsmith #gunsmithing #lovewhatyoudo #mikerowe #cecu #pistolsmith #riflesmith

Spring cleaning is almost here.... Do you have the product you need to do the job like a Gunsmith? We do and we can help you get it too.

Clean your bores quickly and easily with USPC Non Embedding Bore Cleaning Paste. It removes copper fouling and leaves your bore mirror polished safely without harsh chemicals or odors. #cleanerboresmeanerscores

Before and After of this World War 1 issued Colt 1911 that was unfortunately destroyed by a Gunsmith approximately in the 70’s. After a thorough restoration I am happy with the turn out of this World War Champion. Also Thank you to @brianpowley for doing an absolutely beautiful job fixing the engraving on this piece of history! #pagunsmithschool
