Going from a new school firearm to an old school firearm. When Alex Hitzges isn’t helping students weld you can find him stroking his goatee impersonating random people.

Not only did Larry Phillips tackle restoring this FN High Power, he made it function again! Customer brought this in after the firearm sat in a leather holster and accumulated a wee bit of rust for decades. Larry ordered a new barrel and manufactured some springs that were no longer in production and now this customer will be especially happy!

CST has always been a leader in firearm education and repair. Yesterday marked a big day in our history that will allow CST to continue the dedicated instruction of the artisan craft of gunsmithing. Ryan Lishner, who was a student in 2005 and has since worked in every role that CST offers became CST’s new proud and dedicated owner. We congratulate him and look forward to what our future holds!

Colorado School of Trades is back on the social media game with a little restoration #ThrowbackThursday Trevor Miller took this “slightly” rusted Savage 1903 from pumpkin orange to a beautiful blue! When this 1903 walked through the door for obvious reasons the action would not open. Now, when it leaves the facility it will be fully functioning. Can’t wait to see the customers reaction when he sees the rebirth of his gun!
