Yep, a trained gunsmith can almost be guarranteed 2-3 times the billable hours once a home "gunsmith" starts fiddling with a project beyond his capabilities!!
Posted on the wall of the late master gunsmith, and my friend, John Dusing, God Rest His Soul, who unfortunately was only able to teach me a small portion of what he had learned in a lifetime... and I am grateful for every scrap of knowledge he gave me...

Gunsmith Hourly rate: $25.00 (BTW, these are 1970 rates)

...If you watch, $35.00!

...If you attempt to help: $55.00!

(we never had many clients attempt to help )
