For those of you who haven't seen then, Midway has a great youtube page with over 90 how-to videos on the topic of gunsmithing:

Thank you for posting the link, I never would have thought to look to youtube for gunsmith instruction.

Oh man... you wouldn't believe what's on youtube. The other day i found a video (several actually) that teach you how to make a silencer (suppressor to be precise).

There was one a while back I saw that showed you how to make a particular assault rifle fully automatic with nothing but a rubber band. Don't think i bookmarked that one though.

You would be AMAZED at what you can find on youtube. Heck I even have videos up showing you how to make wine with fruit juice, yeast and ummm a protective latex barrier.

Now before someone gets their tighty whities in bunch: I would ever make or do something that's THAT illegal. (I will occasionally jay walk or perhaps exceed the speed limit so I can't say "never do anything illegal") But, I like the idea of knowing how to do it. I chalk it up to odd things that are interesting topics of conversation. I know essentially how to mummify a body from watching the History Channel or how to kill someone without a trace with a tennis ball (learned that one from an inmate while on the job. I was always polite to that guy after that...). Doesn't mean I'd ever do it though, or even share that knowledge in an irresponsible way. It's just interesting to know.

Note: home brewing is absolutely legal and I enjoy teaching classes on the subject almost as much as I enjoy sampling it :)

Making wine is perfectly legal. ;-)

I ran across some of Midway's video's a few months ago and enjoyed them. Very informative and easy to watch, especially if you're not that familiar with gunsmithing.

As far as youtube goes. If I'm doing research on anything, it's one of the first places I go. I like to watch other people disassemble a gun, or change a timing belt. I'll especially pay attention to the firearms if I'm interested in getting a gun, and want to know any tricks or tips for disassembly.
There is a lot of wasted time that can go into it, I'll end up watching the huge guy that bump fires the glock or something useless.

I don't think anyone has intentions of making wine in Walmart, or on the way to work, at the mall or most other places carrying would be happening. I don't carry at home but it's never too far.

YES! I watched some of his videos the other day. I'm going to be getting into reloading and was checking out his annealing process.
