The Trinidad school has been around for a heckuva long time. Decades. I doubt they'd have lasted this long if they weren't good.
Google for Bo Clerke's website. He's a high-quality barrel-maker in Raton, New Mexico. You might email him and ask his opinion.
Lots of good literature. Brownell's "Gunsmithing Kinks" and others, the how-to books on disassembly/reassembly of rifles, pistols and shotguns. Other books like Hallock on the 1911. Wouldn't hurt to get a copy of the Sierra reloading manual just because of the large amount of information on exterior ballistics.
