Jaeger,
From what I have seen over the years.  There are a few, from time to time, that are hands on.  But in the tent for seminars it is strictly instruction.  I could be wrong, never having sat in on any of them.  But I was there for a day each for many years. 
I have never heard Chuck or Greg mention any seminars during the rest of the year.

Chuck Dixon's book mentions that he conducted a school of longrifle building in its first edition, but no further information.

Dave Ehrig, a co-author of the Dixon book, is also mentioned as an instructor of "The Art and History of the Pennsylvanis Longrifle" at Muhlenberg College.

Both of these references are from the first edition of the book dated 1978.
