@BigRed1 lemme come build semi PKM's on vltor receivers for you

2020-05-02 23:22:33 UTC  

Now that sounds fun! Hahaha

2020-05-02 23:22:56 UTC  

In due time.. just gotta get a storefront.. still in the basement

2020-05-02 23:23:45 UTC  

i joke, but im going to a top-tier gunsmithing school in a few months, so maybe i dont joke

2020-05-02 23:24:24 UTC  

We do ww2 reenacting, our biggest issue is solid running mg42s and 34s... I will be building a few in the next few years, unless I see an SOT2 going out of business, than I'll swoop em up..

2020-05-02 23:24:45 UTC  

I want to go to smith school, its just not possible for me at the moment

2020-05-02 23:25:52 UTC  

For the record, an FFL07/SOT2 can legally build what is called a Post sample MG, That is properly approved from the ATF, for legalities.

2020-05-02 23:26:11 UTC  

yeah im fairly well tracking on the SOT stuff

2020-05-02 23:27:36 UTC  

Just educating others, mods, etc

2020-05-02 23:28:45 UTC  

gotcha

2020-05-02 23:29:33 UTC  

well, IDK how big your business is, but if youre looking for a smith in two years HMU, either way id be happy to lend a hand tinkering with old MG's just for fun and building experience

2020-05-02 23:30:22 UTC  

I'm interested in building an MG3 for research, the story behind it is neat..

When russians overtook the Rhine metal plant, they destroyed MG42 blueprints.. they had to reverse engineer the weapon.. crazy right?! Lol

2020-05-02 23:30:42 UTC  

We are small now, hopefully in 2 years ill be a large storefront

2020-05-02 23:30:49 UTC  

i actually didnt know that, thats wild

2020-05-02 23:33:02 UTC  

I havent tracked down the info on the mg42 and 34, but ive nerded out at the TDP's and blueprints of more modern stuff

2020-05-02 23:34:17 UTC  

See history stuff is my fav, I've been learning new stuff, ( it's obviously what everyone buys)

Still learning

2020-05-02 23:35:17 UTC  

You’d be *amazed* well, actually, you probably wouldn’t, but how little most firearms manufacturers and shops actually conceptually understand about how the weapons operate

2020-05-02 23:37:56 UTC  

I've been in many shops, and I HATE when someone doesn't know anything about them.. it's really a disservice to customers.

2020-05-02 23:40:20 UTC  

I've been considering staying away from lower end stuff, like cheap ARs, I'm sure i can find a way to provide good stuff thats affordable, I'm not trying to get rich on folks.

I can't in good conscience sell someone a shitty gun for defense.. you know...

2020-05-02 23:42:20 UTC  

Most gunshops charge like 25 for a transfer, it cost me 5 bucks, so that's profit.. accessories is where there is money to be made

2020-05-02 23:43:00 UTC  

You figure, if i make 50-75 a salemm I'd be happy with that.. I'd consider that pretty good..

2020-05-02 23:44:34 UTC  

Glad you have that mindset

2020-05-02 23:50:40 UTC  

@BigRed1 That’s the way to do it. And it helps build a loyal customer base.

2020-05-02 23:52:03 UTC  

Eventually we will have bench time, where we will discuss cleaning and repairs in detail.

2020-05-02 23:52:19 UTC  

My basement isn't finished yet

2020-05-02 23:53:35 UTC  

I turned my garage into my shop. I’m not doing a store front anytime soon. Word of mouth has worked way better than I’d ever guess

2020-05-02 23:54:33 UTC  

We can eventually do deep dives into issues and all that.. I like teaching, my friend butchered his 80%kit.. omg was it bad.. lmao

2020-05-02 23:54:47 UTC  

Peek autism... imo

2020-05-02 23:58:27 UTC  

Anyone got any insight on DIY anodizing? First hand exp?

2020-05-02 23:58:48 UTC  

Uhhhh no

2020-05-03 00:00:06 UTC  

Watched an read everything on line was jw if anyone had any first hand info.

2020-05-03 00:00:26 UTC  

@BigRed1 watched many people do that.

2020-05-03 00:02:42 UTC  

I wonder if buying 80% lowers in bulk to resell for cash anonymously (still as 80%s, not finished) would be something people would like to take advantage of.

2020-05-03 00:03:52 UTC  

@Bogs_Bunny by definition they are NOT firearms. Now if you finish them, and sell them. You've got an issue

2020-05-03 00:04:34 UTC  

@BigRed1 I know it's legal. I just wonder if anyone would want to pay cash instead of credit card.

2020-05-03 00:05:09 UTC  

@Bogs_Bunny text doesn't get the tone, I mean that Respectfully, you've just gotta cover your own butt.

2020-05-03 00:06:12 UTC  

@BigRed1 if they’re not registered, then how will anyone know that it wasn’t the person in possession that bought, milled, and assembled it? 🤔 buying them and finishing them is legal, just aren’t supposedly to sell it without a serial number. However, no number, no trail 🤷‍♂️

2020-05-03 00:08:15 UTC  

@[MS] Foxtrot795 actually the way the law is written and defined, there's no requirement to serialize it before you sell it, because it's not an income source for you. The law revolves around your intent. Was it intended to be for yourself when you made it or was it to sell? I have no idea how well they can prove intent.

2020-05-03 00:09:08 UTC  

@[MS] Foxtrot795 the issue could be made of intent, just as @Bogs_Bunny described

2020-05-03 00:09:34 UTC  

That’s what I was getting at was the intent. I should have worded it better than I did.

2020-05-03 00:14:03 UTC  

You run into residency issues too, we border NJ, 80% kits are illegal in NJ, just like standard AR mags
