Rifle makers like most art forms seem to never do well except for a few until after they are dead!!

I can sell one of my guns that I stock, usually do a little metal work and send the rest out, for $3500 to $5500 depending on what I put on it etc., some guys can get twice that or more, but figured out by the hour, I don't make enough to do it for a living and wouldn't want to and if they make twice what I can make off a gun they still arn't making a heck of a lot money, they have to be truly motivated to stay in business, and most fall by the wayside or have other income...
