Program Overview

WVC’s Gunsmithing program is one of the few gunsmithing programs in the nation. Gunsmithing is a highly specialized blend of machining, metal-working, woodworking, and artisanship. The program covers how to repair, modify, design, build and fabricate firearms.

Students in the program also receive lessons on using hand tools and machine shop tools as well as lessons in ethics, federal, state and local firearm laws.

Graduates of the Gunsmithing program will have the basic knowledge and skills needed to become a professional gunsmith. The program also includes gun safety, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms background checks and licensing and in-depth studies of state and federal rules and regulations concerning firearms, their manufacture and sale.

Students engage in lab activities related to the process of gunsmithing under the supervision of their instructor. Students in the program will learn about and make use of various labs that support gunsmithing instruction such as the Machine Tool lab, Welding lab, Gunsmithing Instructional lab, Bluing lab, Metal Finishing lab and firearms vault.

Field trips to area gunsmithing shops and firing range facilities provide students with firsthand knowledge of current practices in the field and new products. Students also organize and participate in a year-end gun show in which they present their finished projects to the public, advisory committee members and friends of the program.

Completion of the program includes coursework in firearms design and function, stock-making, bench metal work, gun bluing and metal finishing. Graduates of the Gunsmithing program will have the ability to custom design, build, repair and modify firearms.
