There are none. Become a certified CNC machinist, get a degree in CAD, go to a reputable gunsmithing school, apprentice with a gun maker, get your own 07 FFL and go from there.

A degree in mechanical engineering probably wouldn't hurt either.

After learning to be a machinist you could try to get a job at one of the established arms makers like Remington, High Standard, Winchester, Ruger, etc. The only manufacturer I know in Texas is High Standard.

Yep. LaRue, too, I think.
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

That's a good point! After you finished making the gun you would have to destroy it so you wouldn't get arrested. :lol:
