Calgary Gunnutz! SAIT Gunsmith's course starts March 6

[wagnerb]

I signed up today for the 6-week, 36-hour course offered by SAIT in Calgary. Google "SAIT machinist gunsmith" and you'll find the course link.

There's plenty of room - too much, in fact, because if they don't get a few more sign-ups, they won't hold the course.

If you've ever thought of learning to chamber a barrel blank, cut and crown a barrel, or build your own custom gun, here's your chance, people. If we don't take courses like this one, the trade schools are going to stop offering them.

This has been posted about 100 times. It's an on-going course. In the past if enrollment for the symester is low, the course is cancelled until there is enough interest generated.

I am signed up!

Glad you finally signed up. I'm current enrolled in the Friday night one with "FFWD".

I plan on stopping by one of the nights during your course section to do some sandblasting and catch up on my own projects.

and if it was back to back night I could make it work.

 

[Switchback]

If this was in Lethbridge I would be first to in roll and I am shore the class room will be full the next day.

I dont want to be the spelling and grammer police..but seriously.

The last two posts were painful to read. Maybe take a spelling course at LCC instead.

LCC doesn't exist it's LC now. They took the community out of it... not sure why....


but anyways there seems to be a few lethbridge people interested in this. Who is the instructor in calgary, would he be willing or able to come down here, or does anyone know someone with the same knowlege and experience that could put it on down here?

 

[Azazle]

It sounds as if the class will be canceled due to lack of interest.

 

[junkdude]

As of this afternoon the course was canceled as there was not enough people, but don't take my word for it.

What kind of barrel and action is required for this course, anybody know? Any limits? I left a message with the instructor but no reply yet.

A friend of mine who is enrolled in one of his Millwright classes asked him today (who was interested in signing up) and he said it was canceled due to lack of people.
