AGI - Out to SAVEAmerican Gun OwnersThe American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI) believes we are in anepic struggle where we must rapidly preserve gunsmithing knowledge before it disappears or becomes unavailable to gun owners. There are highly motivated people who would actuallylike to ban this information. They don’t care about the history offirearms or the critical roll that guns have played in protecting ourindividual and national freedoms. They certainly don’t care about hunting, targetshooting or your personal protection. And they DON’T want you to be able to fixyour guns! We believe that guns SAVE lives and that preserving and distributing thisknowledge will save guns and their owners.

These are courses that you will want and need to watch again and again. If a picture isworth a thousand words then AGI's courses are precious beyond words. AGI employs cutaway firearms to give you a look inside and a clear understanding of exactly howyour gun functions. You will possess the most authoritative information available on thedesign, function, maintenance and repair of your particular model of firearm, with theease of understanding that can only come from watching live action video. Absolutelypacked with information not available anywhere else! Owning an AGI course is likehaving the country's best gunsmithing instructors available whenever you need them.

Sincerely, Gene Kelly, AGI President

Endless Maze - You’ll be lost without this courseYou won’t believe how many different ways there are to skin this cat! It seemed as though the variations of how you could build an AK from a kit were ENDLESS. Several gunsmiths and engineers from AGI poured over this process and tried various methods for forming and assembling receivers before we realized that in order to eliminate confusion and lower risk of failure, we needed to come up with ONE standardized procedure that would work for the experienced perfectionist as well as for the first-time, novice builder. After months of experimentation we had the answer.

Parts Identification • Construction Techniques • Receiver Selection Barrel Installation • Fitting a Trunnion • How-to Rivet • Bending Flats

Tooling Blueprints • Parts Selection • and much more

If you follow the procedures we show you and use the tooling we give you prints for, you simplycan’t miss. Prints are included on the DVDs for all the tooling you need whether you are startingfrom a receiver flat or with a pre-formed receiver. By building the AGI tooling you simplify thebuilding process and increase your chances of success. Every step in the process is covered indetail and when we are done building our AK, we take you through the proper safety checks andoff to the range to test fire. You’ll be impressed at how well the gun operates.

We are so confident this course includes everything you need to know for building a Semi-AutoAK from a kit that we back the course with AGI’s money back bulletproof guarantee!Over 3 hours of detailed instruction! DVD#3294 $59.95 (plus s/h)NOTE: Knowledge of complete disassembly and reassembly of an AK is recommended for this course. See the AKS Armorer’s Course #1054 on page 45 for this information.

Build a CustomMauser Rifle withyour own hands!

“I have been a life long subscriber to Rifle Magazine and have lusted after the beautiful firearms that have been portrayed in their“Custom Corner.” I decided that I would attempt to build my own custom rifle, so I began to look around for a resource where I could

learn how to do just that. Going to one of the gunsmithing schools wasout of the question considering that I wanted to do this as a hobby, notas a profession. I read/heard about your company and decided to take achance. I ordered the “Building the Custom Mauser.” I purchased a

Persian 98/29 Mauser rifle & began work.

I wanted to tell you that I havewatched that series over ten times all the way

through. Mr. Shuey is a disciplined instructor, notgiven to over statement. For the beginner, these

videos are so helpful as they walk one through the entireprocess of building a custom rifle. Then I purchased the Rust /Nitre Bluing. I have

just completed all of the metal work (bottom metal, action, bolt and barrel) and I gotta tell you, itis beautiful! I could never have afforded to purchase a custom rifle of this quality. Yet, with thesevideos, I have been able to produce beautiful work. This is not a testimony to my own efforts.Rather, this is praise for the ability of these videos to provide instruction in such a way, that abeginner like me can turn out decent work. In the hands of a patient and diligent person, thesevideos bring the possibility of the custom rifle into the reach of people like me. For that I wish tothank you and your organization for providing me with this service. I got more than I bargained

for from your videos! Sincerely yours, Pastor Jim Pimentel

Gorgeous!

After watching this course you will be able to convert aMauser from an ugly old beater into a beautiful huntingrifle that you will be proud to show off. AGI MasterGunsmith Gene Shuey will show you each step, fromremoving old parts, to installing and headspacing a newbarrel. In this epic production you will see a solid old

military mauser 98 transformed into a classic hunting rifle. First we provide you witha thorough discussion and identification of Mauser actions, then we teach you each ofthe following steps:

Selecting Actions • Removing the old hardware and barrel from the action using abarrel vise • Selecting barrels, considerations • Installing, reaming and headspacing a

barrel • Muzzle brake installation • Custom floor plate installationBolt handle modifications • Installing sights and soldering • Selecting a stock

Inletting and contouring the stock • Basic checkering conceptsStock refinishing concepts • Triggers • Slings • Custom accessories • and much more!

It is an absolute fact that hundreds of millions of dollars in guns will be sold, traded,or inherited every year for at least the next twenty plus years as the GreatestGeneration and the Baby Boomers retire or pass on.

You can get paid for providing your expert opinion of valuewhen you become a Certified Firearms Appraiser.™ Here are just a few opportunitiesfor a Certified Firearms Appraiser™:

• The IRS requires that firearms that are a significant part of an estate be appraisedfor tax purposes. The same goes for collections of guns being donated to a museum, foundation, or non-profit as a tax deduction.

• In the case of bankruptcies firearms are considered part of an individual’s networth; a certain amount of which, if properly documented, they get to keep.

• Individuals who need money for retirement or need to raise cash have to knowwhat their guns are worth so they can get a fair price. In addition, surviving spousesor children will often want to sell a deceased person’sfirearms, but have no idea of their value.

You will be able to help these individuals by providingyour honest educated opinion, while getting paid. But,you must have the proper training to be able to pro-vide an expert opinion. We can help you achieve thatexpertise FAST!

otherwise fine gun." John King, Akron OH.

In 1949 Bill Ruger introduced alow cost but highly reliable .22 LRauto pistol. Over one million ofthese very successful pistols in anumber of variations and modeldesignations have been produced.These pistols, while very reliable,can be for the novice, very diffi-cult to reassemble.
