Gunsmithing - Steps to Apply

The TSC Gunsmithing Department’s application process will be temporarily modified to the following procedure. This procedure may revert to the previous iteration at the discretion of the department and appropriate notification will be given to all applicants.

Acceptance into the Gunsmithing School is based on the applicant successfully completing all the requirements outlined in this document and the program is filled on a first come first served basis. When you have submitted the documentation required and successfully completed the background check we will review the information and if you are determined to be a good candidate for the program you will be scheduled for an interview. After completing the interview the Gunsmithing department will review the information and determine if you are to be admitted to the program.
