    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, but the proximity to the school makes this too much of a liability, in my mind. The ATF should get back to me with the final say on the 19th of July. I still think it is going to be too much of a risk though.

    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided not to go through with the business. I contacted the ATF and they consider gun cleaning as gun smithing, and requires an FFL, which has to be tied to a structure. So, I can't drive to someone's house and clean their guns for them. I then thought...

    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    Well tackstrp, since the ultrasonic cleaning only requires a field strip, if the gun is not working after the cleaning, there is a good chance that it was not working beforehand.

    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    Well I just found out there is a local shop that charges $50 per long gun, they have a one month backlog, and they do not offer a delivery service. And yes, the ultrasonic cleaners work very wellhttp://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=211481

    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    After the war? That is going to be a long time. I'm just sick of taking classes that do nothing but repeat the classes I have already taken. I had one that repeated 8 other classes last semester. I know it makes it easy for future classes, but since I'm paying, I want to learn something darn it!

    Is gun cleaning a good business?

    And the pendulum swings the other way. LOL:D I looked into becoming certified as a smith, but I would have to move out of state to the college, would be looking at a $20,000 bill, 2 years of my life, and from what I have read, there is no money in it. :( I would have to go into custom gun...

    New version of the Hornady LnL AP coming out

    I received my LNL AP in early December, and have yet to use it. I am wondering if there is not a simple upgrade to the whole thing. Why not rough up the area where the EzJect triangle would be, and JB wield a piece of steel there?
