Just came back from the gun smith city Ferlach in the south part of Austria - only 10 miles away from the Slowenian border and about 40 miles from the Italy border. A city with much experience producing hunting rifles. Since 1878 a gun smith school is located there. They are training engravers and gold smiths as well.I have been there 4 jears for getting the gun smith licence.
Today the Glock company produces there too.
They are running a gun smith museum.
Here are some pics:
