    Just asking, is there a formal training / ticket in NZ that you can assume someone has earned, if they say they are a [qualified] gunsmith?

    (Of course there are lots of people out there with experience and skills, patchy or otherwise)

    Only NZ defence force Armourers have a formal nzqa qualification as far as I know.
    There is no formal training outside the defence force unless someone of repute and qualification offers an apprenticeship.


    I am pretty sure Robbie Tiffen has both NZ Army and a gunsmith qualification out of the UK.
