These questions look like ones a gunsmith should know.

If i was taking a self taught class i would have passed this test long ago.

Hoppy:

#1. False, but most/all can be ordered that way.
#2. "b" is correct. "Military and Police".
#3. Not sure - "a" or "c".
#4. Not sure - "c" maybe.
#5. True. Reduces recoil a bit, too.
#6. "b" - "Trigger bar".
#7. "a" - "Sear"
#8. I don't understand the question.... I'm guessing "none" - "limp wristing" may be the cause.
#9. Didn't know it has a shoulder....

Note that I'm not a gunsmith. Just a tinkerer.

(I usually manage to get the grips back on the proper side of the gun, though.)

Regards,

This fellow has been on other forums trying to get others to do his work for him. I believe the moderators dealt with it there.

Just thinking out loud, if I was taking an at-home course for anything and 15% of the test questions were not covered somewhere in the material I might consider finding another at-home course, perhaps one better rated?

I mean, basically, this is an open-book test, correct? How good is this course if you have to go online and get answers from lesser trained - albeit very knowledgeable and experienced - fans and enthusiasts?

Something ain't right here....

Ooops I see bobnieder beat me to it.

+1...
Asking questions that are not covered in readily available 'Study Material' isn't right. The real question might be, Did the OP actually obtain the Study Guides/Material and it's a poorly done course, or is he trying to save a few bucks by not buying the material and asking others?

ONE SHOULD NOT CHEAT ON TESTS, people should supply the effort to seek out answers THEMSELVES, not ask others for the answers.

This was a test that is part of the course, is it not?

Do your homework YOURSELF!!!!!!

NICE, A FUTURE GUNSMITH with shortcuts or doesn't know something at all. Just what the world needs.

Danno_man · #10 06-24-2012, 08:08 AM

#6 is a trick question. There is no firing pin.

Get your panties out a bunch.

Did I give him answers? Nope, just found some things humorous.

My answers would be
#1. False
#2. Military and Police
#3. locked breech cam lock system
#4. none of the above (think it's re-enforcement points)
#5. True
#6. The top of the trigger bow (bar)
#7. The sear
#8. A weak recoil spring
#9. Grabs the rim of the cartridge firmly

But I am no gunsmith, just common sense

Yep, that's the sign the bible said we should wait for... Gunsmiths cheating on tests.... The end of the world is just around the corner now....

Way to go for your 1st post, Realy?

bobnieder · #16 06-29-2012, 08:17 PM

This character has made the rounds of pistol forums. I have seen him on three asking about four or five different brands over the last three months. Who knows how many other posts he's made, trying to patch together tests from this course he's taking. Obviously, if he isn't doing the work to learn the answers, his "degree" or " certificate" is worthless. He will endanger anyone who looks to him for gunsmithing, and the best thing for all would be to let his posts die from lack of interest. Maybe he will even decide to actually do his own work!

SurgicalShark · #17 06-29-2012, 11:04 PM

Anyone notice the op is advising he is taking the RUGER armorers course and asking questions pertaining to the M&P?

I took the self taught armorer course for several popular handgun models. In fact it was the Law enforcement version. All ARE OPEN BOOK / VIDEO. And every question in the tests are gone over highlighted and discussed in great detail. My god they couldn't do make it any easier than having a NEON sign flashing this is on the quiz....

Only an illiterate idiot would fail theses courses.

Seriously???

Shame on you!

Dave Nowlin · #18 06-30-2012, 04:55 PM

If the OP doesn't have enough mechanical know how to study an M&P and figure these things out, he will never be a competent gunsmith. This guy needs to work on "water pistols".
