Buckshot Bob Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Don’t know when they started , don’t know who they employ. But it might be a good opportunity for some. I do always find published price lists interesting, we had a basic one when I worked for Gander Mt https://gunsmith.sportsmans.com/pricing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunger Dan Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Man, some of those prices though....sure, theres stuff in there a normal guy cant do-especially without the correct machinery-lining barrels and such.....but $35 to put a muzzle brake on a threaded barrel? $200 to remove cosmoline? Wow Imagine buying an overpriced sks from them for $499(as compared to the $75 it used to cost) and then paying $200 to get the cosmo removed? Dang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I think the $200 to remove cosmoline is because it’s a job no body wants to do , so if you’re not willing to do it yourself your going to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 They probably don't let them use a 55 gallon drum full of gasoline either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 My cosmoline cleaning experience was in 1953 with the Jr. ROTC when our drill 1903 Springfields were replaced by 120 new M1's in original shipping crates. My company was given 5 gallons of leaded gasoline, oil, rags and rubber gloves with instructions to clean and lube them. Was done on the school plaza under the watchful eye of a US Army Col. Doubt if our clothes ever got rid of the gas smell. Our pay = $0 per hour. After drilling with the Springfields, the M1's felt like really heavy fence posts. Inspection arms during drills created a massive outbreak of "M1 Thumb." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
