>how hard is it going to be to convince a gunsmith that hates his job dealing with retards to take on a super retard that can't support himself and turn take said super retard and convert him into a half useful person, then teach said half useful person how to gunsmith as he tries to make a living gunsmithing
>>30329376
well is there anything i can do?
>Acquire funds for college
>Go to school for machinist
>Then get 4+ years work experience as a machinist
>Then go to the gunsmith because you're a machinist and aren't a useless shut in
So it's something you'll never accomplish you lazy NEET, get ready to be homeless because your mom isn't around forever

Learn gunsmithing on the internet. Make shitty slam bang shotguns.
>>30329394
i already am. that is why i made the post, damn your good.
>>30329392
Get whatever mcjob you can and yourself through some sort of trade school/college for machining
>>30329394
Do that but become self sufficient before mom dies.
But tbqh every gunsmith I have ever spoken to hates their job and does not make very good money.
Find a career you can tolerate and make a decent living and let your gun hobby consume you/

You don't need machines where we're going

If I actually made these would a gunsmith consider me?

Look on the bright side. After you learn the trade, you will still be so devastatingly broke that you might as well still be a NEET.

I took a year off from college and moved back home and my mom was the bane of my existence (4u). I cleaned the whole house once a week, cooked every meal, and even supported my family via hunting (made venison and elk meat twice per week and duck or goose if we didn't eat out).
First and foremost I need to find a rich woman and be her Mr. Mom, but if that fails I need to open a wild game food truck that locally sources produce. I have enough friends that farm to do that but I don't want to lay down a grand to build a food trailer.

No, these are for self checkout when the tendie train stops a chugging.
>>30329435
Consider you a idiot, I suppose.
>>30329438
I have a purebred black lab also. Maybe I could fund my food trailer by selling my doggo's nut to bitches.
>>30329443
it has though and its kinda scary desu.
Not OP.
How hard would it be for someone with a degree in mechanical engineering to become a gunsmith?
>>30329469
Why would you want to? See >>30329437
If you like funs, build them as a hobby. For the love of God don't try to make money doing it.
I literally know a U.S. Army depot level armorer (not some shitty unit armorer) who wound up homeless because he wants to be a gunsmith so bad he will accept no other work. He is phenomenal, has six years experience rebuilding machine guns for both the military and then private contractors inna Iraq, and worked at an actual gun manufacturing company, but now the only shops that will hire him always screw him over. They lose money having a gunsmith when they could just sell moar guns. Most of them don't realize this at first, but when they do, they fire him, usually while not paying him for completed work.
There is no money, at all, in the gunsmithing industry. The only people who go anywhere are the .5% who make ultra custom $100,000 shotgats and that's after apprenticing for a decade, broke as fuck the whole time.
