Armorers are a-plenty, but a good gunsmith is hard to find.
Q: What's the difference between an armorer and a gunsmith?
A: An armorer can repair and replace gun parts. To be a gunsmith, one must possess skills as a mechanic, a metalworker, a woodworker, be an artisan, be knowledgeable in shop mathematics, ballistics, and chemistry, and be capable of working accurately and precisely. Those who are self-employed in small gunsmith shops must also possess skills as small business operators, work effectively with a wide variety of customers, and keep abreast of, and comply with, federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and requirements. (See Wikipedia) If someone tells you he is a "gunsmith," look at his shop. If he has a work bench, a vise, some hand tools, and a few books, he may be an armorer, but most likely not a gunsmith. If his shop looks like this, he is most likely what he says he is - a gunsmith.
