Who has ever actually worked in the firearms industry?

[FAS1]

Yes, I do currently, but not firearms specifically. I design, manufacture, operate an online store to sell my own quick access handgun safes. AR-15 safe coming next.

In 1978 I worked at a foundry, and we made several parts for
The Abrams Tank; would that qualify ?

I work for the firearms industry. If you saw how much money I spend on guns and related stuff you'd agree.

Winning comment.

Not in manufacturing but as a commercial reloader, (1966-1977), light gunsmithing (reblue, repair, sights, pads, tuning) and sales from the sixties til now. Also built a dozen or more replica arms, none from kits.

I have not, but I have 2 brothers-in-law who have.
One was a supervisor in the cylinder machining cell at Colt around 1980 ish. To him it was just another machining job he could have been making widgets for all he cared.
The other was supervising the shipping dept at Marlin when they got bought. I think he spent most of his career there in shipping. To him it was also "just a job".
