I am not aware of any. I take summer classes at Trinidad College in Colorado. There are only about 5 or 6 training schools in the nation. The AGI home training is about the best of the home training but it's still not the same as the classroom with an insructor who has experience. If you are mechanicly inclined then you can get most of what you need by just tearing down stuff you have and getting some detail from books and video's. The machine work is another level however. Threading barrels and milling dovetails require some machine training. I belive that Dallas Community College did have a machine shop course.

I guess it all depends on wether you just want to repair firearms of your own or do it for a living. If you want to be a gunsmith then look into the programs at the few places that offer them. Otherwise you can become very good by just taking it on as a hobby. One other thing, be prepared to screw up a few firearms!
