Is it me or do gunsmiths $85 per hour charge worth $85


I'm a business owner, a certified tradesman, and I have a university degree. I have several vehicles, a 2 story shop, and a quarter million in inventory and test equipment. I charge $125 and hour. I have more work that what I care for. If someone doesn't like my fee, then go somewhere else. I pick and choose who I want to work for.


Anyone at any given time can get a student loan, and education, mortgage their home to invest in a business, inventory and tools. You can too.


Just saying...

He calle around and got a quote from one of the shops in Vancouver. I was awoken by the message he sent me and was enraged.

"Enraged" by a message that isn't even concerning you? ...

I know a lot of military guys and they don't make even close to $60,000 a year. Most of them have second jobs just to make ends meet.

Jeez then you need to move, Im only making 30K and I make ends meet. I was making 52K was I was full time reservist.

Simple it will cost 3x that amount to get the tools to re barrel the gun. Tools are not cheap. I know I have diesel tools and well some of those specialty tools ain't cheap.



Then pay the person.

Most mechanics in NS are between 50-90$/HR, about 106$/HR for Diesel.

Really??? Hmm, I know some mechanics in NS. Yes the shop that sells their service may get $90/hr but I can tell you the mechanics sure don't get $90/hr. So if you are going to pipe in, please be accurate.
Yes, businesses charge more than what their employees make, because everyone needs to make $, and there are a lot of costs associated with running a business.
End of.

Thats the labor rate, I know, because I'm unemployed diesel. Starting rate is 14/HR 3 months might see 17/18$ for industrial/marine mechanics. Red seal get about 22 ( truck and transport or heavy )

Ok gents

I appologize for the unnecessary rant, it was a bad mistake from me and there's no excuse. I offended a lot of people on this forum and would like to give my utmost appology.

If you still feel like you want justice, don't hesitate to pm me.

Sincerely

Throatpunch.

What do you think you should be paying for a guy's skills that take a life time to acquire? How long it takes is irrelevant. Nor does a smithy get PAID $85 per hour.

TP is over it and has apologized. It is over and we should accept that.

Having dealt with guntech, I appreciate his qualifications, years of experience, fairness, quality of work and quick turn around times.

Since he has always performed specified projects at a flat rate, I never equated it to $$$/hour.

Perhaps a case of mind over matter . . . if you don't mind it don't matter!
