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.
