What new skill are you working on building?
Hey all! Lydia here. Recently at BCAC, we have gotten a large request for stock work. Re-fitting, checkering, custom stocks, etc. All things which Hootey knows how to do already. I myself have always been interested in woodworking of various kinds, thanks to my dad. While I am a gun enthusiast and love learning everything that I can in regards to the gunsmithing side of the shop(Most days I am learning right along with you as we edit videos!), I think I am more drawn to carpentry. That said, there is a portion of gunsmithing that I can work on that helps feed that specific interest. So Hootey is in the process of teaching me how to do stock work and checkering so that I can help with those custom projects that are sitting in the safe. I am excited to learn this new skill and see how I can build upon it! What skill are you building right now? Does it pertain to gunsmithing?

Come Join Us!
Hey all! We've been extremely busy this past month, and unfortunately we've have not gotten any new classes out for you guys. One of the obligations that we had outside of the shop is now over, so we will hopefully be going back to a more consistent schedule with that soon. To make up for it, we wanted to do a Live with you all! This coming Sunday evening, kick back with us After Hours! We would live to hang out with you all! https://www.facebook.com/share/1KQEmQmrUF/

Legal Question.
Is it legal for me to make my own firearms at home?

Depends on the state that you live in. Federally, yes you are allowed to make your own firearms if they are not for resale. But other states have their own rules and regulations.
