Episode 230: When Helping Hurts: Lessons from the Bench and the Birth of the Prosumer Gunsmithing School

In this no-holds-barred episode, Jamie shares a story that’s equal parts cautionary tale and the driving force behind Wolf Precision’s upcoming Prosumer Gunsmithing School. From a damaged rifle at a shooting school to a deep dive on the risks of DIY installs, Jamie explains why sometimes even good intentions can lead to costly mistakes. He also touches on why Wolf stopped doing outside gunsmithing work, what inspired their new consumer-based ACE Gen 4 system, and how the upcoming gunsmithing course aims to empower shooters to take control of their builds — the right way.

Bonus content includes:

• Behind-the-scenes on upcoming Gen 4 ACE chambers and barrels

• A sneak peek into the new reloading tools and classes

• Why bead blasting beats Cerakote (most of the time)

• A myth-busting look at carbon barrels and heat retention

Whether you’re building your first rifle or you’ve got a shelf full of barrels ready to go, this episode is packed with real-world insight to keep you shooting straighter — and smarter.
