@@HandloaderTV you bet! Can’t wait for part two

There are a lot of reasons. For instance when you’re a gunsmith a customer may bring in a Remington 700 action for a build. Or your customer may not have $800-$2000 spend on a custom action. Sure there are off the shelf actions and pre-fit barrels(chambered and threaded) plus drop in chassis. At that point it’s not called being a gunsmith just an armorer at most. To be honest watching someone truly blueprint something is more interesting than watching an assembly video.

Isn’t that the purpose of the video? This is a gunsmithing college not some online course. The video is trying to showcase the talents and skills that the students learn while they’re in school. Anybody can screw on a barrel to some of the other actions, but this video is showcasing Real rifle smithing

@@allenmagarrell7417 ok. It takes a real smith to fix a remi gton rather thN assemble better parts, but the parts are often cheaper than the custom labor to fix something that could have been produced at a higher quality from the start. This wasnt always the case, but here we are.

@@SLFYSH My first custom rifle was built on a Remington 700 action it remains one of my most accurate rifles to date. There are so many of these actions out there and as a gunsmith you would need to know how to work on these. Like it or not there is a following behind these actions and folks will want rifles built off them sometimes it is cheaper especially if the customer already has an action. As far as the parts being cheaper than the labor that really depends on the gunsmith. I know I saved about 400 bucks using a Remington action on my build because I had everything quoted out prior to starting the build. That gunsmith was also a graduate of the Yavapai gunsmith program. Personally if I am going to take my gun which I depend on for hunting, self defense, competition etc to a gunsmith I would want the most qualified knowledgeable well trained gunsmith I can find. In my experience this program turns out gunsmiths of that caliber if they are willing to put int the work. I understand where you are coming from and what you are trying to say and everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment we greatly appreciate it and hope to see you in the next few parts of this series as well. --Jeremiah
