[QUOTE="walkinhorseman, post: 1113230, member: 51285"] TarHeel, there is no free lunch. Have you stopped to ask yourself why there are so few gunsmiths in business servicing the pedestrian trade? People will go to their local Chevy dealer and pay $85/hr shop rates for oil changes and tires rotations but bulk at paying a gunsmith the same rate. Would you pay to maintain an FFL, open your doors to the FEDS for harassment, buy specialty tools and then have some customer complain about the cost of services? I put three years into the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School and opted not to engage the profession specifically because I could make more money with less hassle, in my chosen career path. You'll get guys like you and people with grandpa's 22 that needs a part manufactured that takes several hours of work and knowledge in heat treating complain about a $50 bill for service. Pay the local guy, pay to ship to a cheaper source or buy the tools and do it yourself. [/QUOTE]
