Hi @James322,
I don’t know what the factories pay, but in the private sector, even the best gunsmiths don’t seem to charge much–for amazing work. And even firearms…unless you get into collectibles, not a lot. Reloading, if you’re going to do it right, you’re in for a learning curve.
Hi SKIdaho,
Kimberly here… I don’t do social media, so venturing into this forum is new to me. Reading through some of the posts makes me realize how isolated I am. We have communists here? I thought there were only Mormons and the Amish! I know a couple of doctors in Georgia—avid hunters… then I totally out-shot a Sheriff (at a target; I didn’t shoot him!) in Tennessee—a gun collector (who drank too much beer, and owned a home WAY beyond his means).
Joking aside as I like to keep a good attitude…there are many many knowledgeable people here with tons of experience, and kindness. So many backgrounds, and walks of life. Ask questions. learn and share. Stay safe!
