Hiring Firearm Assembler in Barrie, Ontario

"As a pensioner, the job would be a great addition, and the dental plan would be excellent to have, being without a dental plan.
If I did live in the Barrie area, I would certainly think seriously about the job. Being a somewhat skilled gunsmith, I very much doubt that anything I assembled would be returned."

Yes indeed.
I know a few retired Tool & Die Makers who would be good candidates for this type of job.
 
To be fair I have no idea what is or what's involved in assembling firearms. Ive never assembled or built a single one. But I did respond with a laugh. Being skilled and certified in my industry I wouldnt get out of bed for the offered wage. Nowhere did it say entry level position or unskilled anything. Now that more info has been made available, thanks to many, I would agree that is a perfect youngster/retiree kind of job. Good luck filling the position, way cooler than flipping burgers..

I would assume it is the same skill required to do a thorough cleaning of any firearm.

If only this job was part-time cash under the table...

LOL, people act like a PAL is some kind of holy grail.

Any moron that can read can pass the test and get a PAL.

In this day and age I wouldn't say that. Most of the young high school graduates aren't even reading at a elementary school level. Let alone being able to interpret what it means...

It ain't hoofing 2x4s in -20deg, haha. 20$-22$ with benefits to break into the firearms industry with no experience is pretty decent.

Hoofing 2x4's at -20 sounds like a pretty easy job compared to alot of manual labour out there. When the helicopter can't fly to pick you up on your rig in baffinland when it's below -60 because the naphtha/kerosene fuel is frozen, and leaves you stranded for 3 days until it warms up a bit...
But they do pay you for the entire time at least...

Fair enough, those guys on Baffin Island definitely deserve waaaay more than $22 and hour!
