Make carbine
Hi,
it takes about 100 hours to make one carbine.
I only work 15-20 hours a week because it's my part time job.
out of that time only 10 hours goes in to making something.
other 10 hours goes in to answering email, phone calls and sending shipments out as bad and as slow as i am.
I do have waiting list of projects that is about 15 at this time.
I turn about 1 project in 2 weeks in general.
There is also a waiting list of small projects, like functions checks and parts fittings and such.
so 30-40 weeks to get to your project.
and 10 weeks to make it happen.
In realty i work on each project little by little.
Because i rust blue them in 2-3 at the time.
As far as carbines ,
I make 4-5 at the time, make stocks for all, make barrels for all,
make grips for all and so on .
Last year i made 6 of them.
First was out in 8 month last was out in 14 month.
one lucky person got his faster because he got the one extra one i was making for sale and not to order.
That's my life as i know it.
If i take a phone call, 2 hours are gone.
If i answer email an 1 hours is gone.
and projects and shipments get delayed.
If i get a cold, that drops a week of the clock.
I god forbid i go on vacation all hell brakes loose.
That's a ruff estimate.
I am not out here to cheat anyone out of there money,
Mostly i am just doing it for the love of the Lugers ...
That what my wife keeps telling me anyways.
If people have patience to deal with me, they get reworded...
If they do not, they have other options... and as far as i hear anyone that is any good takes just as long.
Correct me if I am wrong.
