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!

Gary Schlomer was able to wear his tie-dye jacket one last time today. While he has made it a tradition to wear this for graduation gunsmith walks it was repurposed for his retirement gunsmith walk. After 38 tremendous years of teaching our greatest asset has hung up his apron. While we won’t see him every Tuesday through Thursday we are certain this is not the last we have seen of Gary.
A statement from School President, Jean Martin:
“I’ve always dreaded when this day would come and now it has. Gary Schlomer has made the call to ride off into the sunset of retirement. This LEGEND has blessed CST with his Gary-isms, knowledge, kindness, faith, and honesty for decades. If you were wise enough to truly listen to this man you received a gift no other could bestow.
I can’t Imagine not having the daily sightings of toothpicks, tie-dyed jacket, and that ornery smile. Thank you is not sufficient for all you have given. I will instead wish you happy days with your beloved family and books with a reminder… the door is ALWAYS open.”
Gary, his family, and the staff were all presented with challenge coins that commemorate what a truly great man, teacher, and friend Gary was. Prior to walking Gary address the staff by saying:
“Sorry I didn’t make it to feet first out the door before calling it. But it has been fun… Really fun.”
As the saying goes its never goodbye, only see you later. Enjoy your retirement Gary!

Basic’s student Larry Phillips recently refinished this Remington 870 for his first firearm refinish at the school. Larry polished the metal to a 320 finish and blued it as well as completely stripped the wood down, filled some broken chips, and added this glossy finish to it. This shotgun has turned a complete 180 from how it looked coming in the door!

Kurt Martonik produced this BEAUTIFUL Model 98 chambered in 275 Rigby. He took a Claro blank completely inletted it, shaped, and added a finish. He then decided to try his checkering skills. With only 24 lines per inch he busted the checkering out in 30 hours! What tremendous commitment and fabulous end result.

A little #ThrowbackThursday for this Springfield 1896 produced by Brandon Beck. We love seeing our new students coming in and producing projects like this off the get go.
