Here's a wikipedia article about Gunsmithing.

I suggest visiting a Gunsmith in person to ask them how they got started and to get proper answers to the rest of your questions. They're better equipped to help you than I am.
Some Gunsmiths do answer questions here, so perhaps they'll be kind enough to help.
