AGI - Out to SAVE American Gun Owners The American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI) believes we are in an epic struggle where we must rapidly preserve gunsmithing knowledge before it disappears or becomes unavailable to gun owners. There are highly motivated people who would actually like to ban this information. They don’t care about the history of Gene Kelly President, AGI firearms or the critical roll that guns have played in protecting our individual and national freedoms. They certainly don’t care about hunting, target shooting or your personal protection. And they DON’T want you to be able to fix your guns! We believe that guns SAVE lives and that preserving and distributing this knowledge will save guns and their owners. These are courses that you will want and need to watch again and again. If a picture is worth 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 how your gun functions. You will possess the most authoritative information available on the design, function, maintenance and repair of your particular model of firearm, with the ease of understanding that can only come from watching live action video. Absolutely packed with information not available anywhere else! Owning an AGI course is like having the country's best gunsmithing instructors available whenever you need them. Sincerely, Gene Kelly, AGI President

AGI student builds Beautiful Custom Mauser Hunting Rifle, he says You can too! “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 was out of the question considering that I wanted to do this as a hobby, not as a profession. I read/heard about your company and decided to take a chance. I ordered the “Building the Custom Mauser.” I purchased a Persian 98/29 Mauser rifle & began work. I wanted to tell you that I have watched that series over ten times all the way through. Mr. Shuey is a disciplined instructor, not given to over statement. For the beginner, these Gorgeous! videos are so helpful as they walk one through the entire process 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, it is beautiful! I could never have afforded to purchase a custom rifle of this quality. Yet, with these videos, 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 a beginner like me can turn out decent work. In the hands of a patient and diligent person, these videos bring the possibility of the custom rifle into the reach of people like me. For that I wish to thank 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

Sights • Barrel • Grip Frame • Trigger Pull Master Pistolsmith Gene Shuey has been working on Glock pistols for many years, studying, experimenting, and testing different approaches to enhancing the gun. He creates what is called "functional art in firearms." His Glock pistols are absolutely beautiful to look at, feel, and hold, and they work flawlessly! If you're not familiar with Mr. Shuey, he is well known for building extremely high-end custom 1911 pistols. Entire feature articles have been written about his work in gun magazines around the world. In Japan they have used his pistols as models to make exotic soft-air copies that sell for premium prices. After receiving hundreds of requests, Gene turned all of his creative focus to Glock pistols. Over the years he has refined his process for converting Glocks into the finest concealed carry and competition pistols available anywhere. He now shares with you everything he has learned from spending thousands of hours working on these guns. Mr. Shuey developed a simple step-by-step system that will enable you to customize your Glock the way YOU want it. Follow along as he shows you the numerous different sight options currently available and helps you make your choice. He selects an aftermarket "drop-in" barrel, installs it, and demonstrates how to test for proper fit and polish the chamber for reliable feeding. He shows you how to enhance the grip. He also shows you how to increase the adhesion of the grip so that it won't slip when you need it during rapid firing or when your hands are sweaty, wet, or slippery. Gene will also show you how to install a thumb safety. Furthermore, he teaches you how to greatly improve your trigger pull by installing a lighter trigger connector, springs, and smoothing and tuning the parts. You will also learn how to select and install an approved recoil spring assembly to reduce felt recoil and improve reliability. Gene covers how to tune the overall pistol to improve fit, feel, and function plus a whole lot more. This course is over three hours in length and is equal to sitting down with Master Pistolsmith Gene Shuey at his bench for a week working side-by-side with him in his shop. 3+ hours.

Be a Firearms Appraiser! How to have people bring you piles of guns and pay you for your expert opinion! 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 Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers retire or pass on. Many of these guns must be formally appraised for estate, resale, and tax purposes. This provides you with a little known opportunity. You can get paid for providing your expert opinion of value when you become a Certified Firearms Appraiser.™ Here are just a few opportunities for a Certified Firearms Appraiser™: • The IRS requires that firearms that are a significant part of an estate be appraised for 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 net worth; 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 know what their guns are worth so they can get a fair price. In addition, surviving spouses or children will often want to sell a deceased person’s firearms, but have no idea of their value. You will be able to help these individuals by providing your honest educated opinion, while getting paid. But, you must have the proper training to be able to provide an expert opinion. We can help you achieve that expertise FAST! AGI has developed this special course which will enable you to quickly become a Certified Firearms Appraiser™ using knowledge provided from a panel of experts with well over 400 years of combined experience in collecting, appraising and selling firearms. 22

Save Big Bucks by “Saving” your existing barrel by recrowning, setting back and re-throating the chamber. When to do cryo work and stress relieving of the barrel and when to avoid it is explained. Also, how to add a heavy pinned recoil lug, blueprinting the action and lapping the lugs, bedding for 100% contact and all the details of perfect stock fit. Plus - trick aftermarket parts that really work, proper barrel break-in techniques, fitting a special firing pin, trigger, bolt stop and why. Everything that you need to know to tune up your factory rifle is covered in this course. Although most applicable to the Remington 700 and Winchester Model 70 rifles, which are covered in detail, many of the techniques can be applied to numerous other models as well.

We call these courses Armorer's Courses so that they won't be confused with our Disassembly/Reassembly DVD Manuals shown on pages 36 and 37.

Congratulations on an excellent product." Scott D. Aronstein, Marketing Manager, High Standard Manufacturing Company, Inc. What is Covered in an Armorer’s Course?

After you have a complete understanding of the design and function we show, step-by-step, complete disassembly and reassembly, then teach you basic troubleshooting and repairs at an Armorer's level.

Remington 1100 & 1187 Shotguns Applicable to all models and gauges

The Remington 1100 auto loading shotgun was the first sporting firearm designed almost completely by using a computer aided design (CAD) system. Relatively lightweight it employs a soft-shooting gas operating system to cycle the gun. A very popular shotgun with wingshooters and trapshooters alike, this gun has some reoccurring mechanical failings. You will learn how to adjust your 1100 to prevent jamming and feeding problems, and AGI will show how the bolt locking, gas and carrier feed systems operate using a cutaway.

In 1949 Bill Ruger introduced a low cost but highly reliable .22 LR auto pistol. Over one million of these very successful pistols in a number of variations and model designations have been produced. These pistols, while very reliable, can be for the novice, very difficult to reassemble. AGI will teach you the correct method, step-bystep. Feeding and extraction problems along with corrections and repairs are shown in detail using a cutaway pistol. 90 min. DVD#1144 $39.95 (plus s/h)

"As a handgun hobbyist with no gunsmithing knowledge, I was afraid to disassemble my Ruger MKII. I didn't think that I could reassemble it. With your videos I was not only able to disassemble and reassemble it, I was able to give it a thorough cleaning it sorely needed and I was able to correct an extraction problem that had been plaguing my otherwise fine gun."

Thompson Submachine Guns Models 1921, 1928, M1, and Semi-Auto 1927

EE FR matic!* es lud che Inc ble S a t Prin

The Thompson SMG is the classic submachine gun from which all others are judged. Often referred to as the “Chicago Typewriter” or the “Gun that made the 20s Roar” it was used by both gangsters and law enforcement officers. First developed in 1919 as a “trench broom” for WWI type fighting, only a handful of that particular model were built and the Thompson evolved into the elegant model 1921 with the drum magazine followed by the classic 1928 with the Cutts compensator on the muzzle.

During WWII the Thompson was redesigned several times to greatly reduce the manufacturing costs and these models included the Model 1928A1, M1, and M1A1. In this course Master Armorer John D. Bush explains the history of the Thompson and will show you many rare manuals and prints. He then takes you inside each of the models including the Semi-Auto 1927 A-1. You will see complete disassembly, parts identification and reassembly along with troubleshooting suggestions and repairs. You are shown how the drum magazine is loaded and you will also be treated to a heart pumping live fire demo of each of the models. 119 min. DVD#1374 $39.95 (plus s/h) AGI Armorer's Series
