Jeez, I am glad I never listened to most of this crew as I was growing up! How does anyone ever attain any experience without trying? If you are a total klutz, please, leave it alone. But if you have patience and mechanical ability, by all means, go as far as your skill will take you. Most of the best gunsmiths I ever knew were self taught. I never would have learned to do stock work, rebarreling, etc. if I had not decided to give it a try. Having the correct screwdrivers and brass drifts and punches will keep you from commiting the cardinal sin of buggering up screw slots. Other than that, it is just disassmbling and reassembling.
