Exactly! Same here. No prior experience or training, and I've made adequate welds on a few projects with a cheap HF welder. Do enough reading/youtubing that you're familiar with appropriate safety...

Only for use on guns you hate.
For gunsmith welding, you'll want a TIG machine and a class on how to use it.

If you have never welded I would start with a Flux core mig welder.

Not sure why someone is down voting these comments. That was the the recommendation everyone gave me as well. It's cheap, works well, and is the easiest to learn.

Youtube can teach you. I'm not very good, but after watching youtube videos I can make two pieces of metal stick together using my cheap HF welder. Practice well improve the quality of your welds.

Yes, welding is not something you can learm from watching videos. It's more dangerous than most DIY activities and takes training and practice to learn to make a good weld.

High school shop teacher had us watch a video, pointed in the direction of the welder and said have at it. Can't remember how the welds came out but nobody died. Of course that was 30 years ago.

Steel. You can weld aluminum with a mig welder, but you need a spool gun and different gas than what steel requires.

This is both AC and DC for different applications. We even use the DC side for thawing frozen metal pipes. But, for most people, your Mig is great if only going to have one welder for occasional use.

Depends on what you're planning on welding. I can't recall ever needing a gun welded, so I'm at a loss to visualize what you would weld.
