A craft only survives if someone learns it. The techniques behind traditional firearms restoration have to be taught, practiced, and passed from one generation to the next.

As the first-ever recipient of the Doug Turnbull Firearms Restoration Arts Grant, Pennsylvania Gunsmith School is proud to continue that work. The next generation learns at the bench, develops their skills in the shop, and carries the craft forward.
