Bob’s teaching method allows you to develop a pattern of diagnostic thinking that will enable you to pick up any pivot barrel shotgun and safely and intelligently trouble shoot problems and fix them.

AGI has been a great experience so far. Proud to say my knowledge of firearms has expanded tremendously.
My journey first stared with the Master Armorer Course which led to Level 1 Gunsmith Course. While studying Level 1 I followed the lessons to apply for my FFL and started a gunsmithing business. So far I have successfully utilized the material in the courses to repair all firearms brought into my business.
Hello, my name is Mike, I have had the opportunity to look at materials from a few different gunsmithing courses and the AGI course is by far the best that I have experienced with the professional gunsmiths doing the videos. The classrooms the in-depth gunsmithing of certain firearms is just amazing and this is by far the best course to get to become a professional gunsmith. I have enjoyed very much. The candor of some of the instructors in the course. It does make everything enjoyable. It helps you learn because you take away the certain things and the experiences of those instructors and you can apply them yourself and it has just been a wonderful experience taking the professional gunsmithing course with AGI.
This is a fantastic program! I purchased a program about a year ago. I had a few issues in life happening and was unable to go through it. I now plan to start up again. What is nice about this program is that you can do it on YOUR time!
AGI has an incredible curriculum to follow and I’ve taken advantage of their knowledge transfer Courses as part of my gunsmith training. It’s not the big items and issues they cover but, the small hidden issue that are covered is what makes AGI second to none!!!
What a great school! The comprehensiveness of the curriculum is amazing. You don’t just learn Design, Function and repair of enormous amounts of firearm systems, you get the whole kit and kaboodle regarding the business end of it. The instruction and coaching from the gunsmithing gurus in the business is absolutely invaluable! The AGI folks are very creative in presenting ideas on how to make money while your FFL is in process, or if you are limited in space or equipment, the collaborative nature of Gene Kelly and his program gives you a huge advantage to starting a successful business. I have gotten my FFL and have been able to gain good paying with which I am capable while learning in the program. I have also been able to off shoot a ski and snowboard tuning and repair business. The concepts I have learned through the fine folks at AGI have given me the skills, have motivated and enabled me to make this happen! Aaron Dailey – Aaron’s Adventuresmith, LLC
Received my Master Gunsmith certification in about a year on my own time. The videos are very straightforward and to the point, with enough humor and real life commentary to maintain your interest. I am confident that I will have the skills necessary to complete the majority of repairs that come my way. AGI delivered on their promise and I would recommend their courses to anyone interested in the firearm repair/manufacturing industry. Thank you AGI!
I completed the Master Gunsmith course a few months ago and opened my “retirement” shop.
I thought I knew something about guns after competing in rifle and pistol matches for over 30 years, Law Enforcement Officer over 25 years, and fixing my own guns. That was farther from the truth. The information and combined knowledge presented by all of the instructors “blew me away” is an understatement! When I opened my shop, I had the knowledge, confidence, training, and understanding given by AGI to be able to tackle that first scope mounting up to doing a complete restoration of a customer’s “grand-daddy’s shotgun”. Knowing I also have the GCA disassembly/assembly videos and Ken’s “Over the Shoulder” videos, helps if I need a refresher on something I almost forgot, (like putting the cocking lever spring OVER the sear spring) on a Stevens Model 311.
I now have Insurance agents request I become a Certified Appraiser, so I just enrolled in that course. They are going to start holding orders for me BEFORE I’ve even received the course!
My wife is now getting annoyed at me because I’m “always working out in the shop, and now you’re going to do Appraisals”. Guns have always been a passion of mine, and AGI is letting me live a dream of tinkering with guns, AND GETTING PAID FOR IT! So much for retirement…
I wish I had done this years ago!
Any time I’ve had to call AGI with questions about testing, signing on to an area, enrolling, etc., Marcus and Chris have always been extremely helpful and friendly to talk with.
Thank you AGI/GCA, for giving me the skills to do what I love doing.

I love AGI training videos and professional courses. The instructors are awesome and the material is very informative. Thanks a ton!
