potshot Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Do a google search on UK Gunsmiths - work our which ones are real gunsmiths and those that are just shops which send their repairs to a real gunsmith. Then write to every single one asking if they will take on an apprentice. Write to Bill Harriman at the BASC and Will Garfit at the Gun Trade Association and see if either of them can help. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullterrier Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 If you can achieve the right fitness levels join the REME. Plenty of armourers in the army, I`m sure some will be gunsmiths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
