Student Testimonials

A very good course of training especially for someone starting out. The instruction was comprehensive and at times intense. I’m sure that’s part of the learning process. The course surprised me as to the repairing of firearms I learned a lot about how to make a part versus just buying one. It was a challenge. I would like to say the staff were all great. If I needed help, had a question or just didn’t understand the process. They were there.

I would give these guys 6 stars if I could. If you are serious about wanting to be a professional gunsmith then these courses are a valuable addition to all the other things you need to know. Bob Dunlap has seen more firearm issues that you can shake a stick at and if one listens carefully to everything he has to say on these videos you can be better than the competition. I supplemented these courses by attending a technical college to learn precision machining and another technical college run by the University of South Carolina that has a gunsmithing school. Because of these courses I was better prepared to absorb the vast amount of knowledge thrown at me. Thanks AGI ….. and still, after many years I have to whip out these DVDs to get some good tech info about a particular firearm or operation. Of course that was a much younger Bob Dunlap 🙂

It’s a great opportunity to learn and develop problem solving skills. You can also study and test at your own pace.

I really enjoyed the online course. I Learned a lot and thought the course is well organized and thought out well. I enjoyed listening and learning from Bob Dunlap and the good down to earth and good humor in communication.

I have learned so much about firearms through the programs. The DVD’s and videos are broken down by topic so anyone can understand – it’s a great way to learn gunsmithing!

AGI is by far the best online Gunsmithing program. I did check out two other online schools and was not impressed. AGI actually goes into detail about each gun system and sub-systems. It goes over the rules and practices for several guns, then you apply those skills you learned to other guns with similar systems. They also offer hands on classes in Oregon. They are far for us East Coast guys but definitely worth the trip. I have taken 3 with Colt revolvers being the most recent (last week). All 3 classes were great hands on experience. Ken Brooks is an awesome instructor and very down to earth. Highly recommend AGI, it has given me the knowledge I need to open a shop and I’m doing great with it. I like the fact that I can review the course material anytime I need to. That in itself is priceless.
