ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA GUNSMITH SCHOOL Pennsylvania Gunsmith School is a private post-secondary educational institution and is located in Avalon, a suburb of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The school is similar in nature to colleges, but unlike colleges, the training is conducted in a laboratory or shop type setting and is predominately hands-on, bench work. Since 80% of people are visual learners, instructors physically demonstrate concepts, techniques and skills and students repeat or complete assigned tasks. Instructors follow-up for understanding, comprehension and quality of workmanship.
