Where do you guys work?

[Glock30]

Worked for a bank the past year and a half before I moved up here, now I'm unemployed and just trying to finish off school (my choice, not the economy's)

I'm actually working on getting my FFL and opening up a shop out here with the aid of a friend who I worked for on the side building AR-15's for.

The Evergreen Aviation Museum IMAX theatre does not show full-length feature films. Bummer since I live 5 minutes away from it, but the Star Trek at the Bridgport IMAX was amazing!

I make custom accessories for the Ruger 10/22, and help my old man with his gun shop.

 

[Glock30]

Is his gunshop around here in town Jeddedia? I wouldn't mind checking it out!

Gunsmithing, restoration, sales new & used, blueing.

My business for 10/22 accessories is here. www.laserstock.com

Oh cool, are you there today? I wouldn't mind checking that place out. I'm in the market for a Kimber Ultra Carry CDP II but most of the shops I've checked don't have it )=

 

[jeddedia]

I am here today
Unfortunately we don't carry Kimber, their dealer program was an unbelievable sum of cash to buy into, and to be honest I don't think their quality is all that impressive.
We stick with Springfield weapons for the most part. I do have a short grip and barrel Rock Island .45 though.

Is your Rich's related to the Rich's that was in Lake Grove years ago? Your grandfather maybe?

One and the same! They bulldozed that building though to make way for a new and improved parking lot!
Third-generation gunshops are rare I'd say, and not too loudly as my father Lee is the genius behind the gunsmithing. Kase is the other smith here and he does a LOT of work with the black rifles and can do an amazing trigger job on any pistol or rifle.

I still have a 1911 someone, possibly your dad, welded a front sight to. 2 earlier staking attempts had both come loose (done elsewhere) and I was making it permanent or else that time. Good to see the family is still at it. That was one of my favorite shops.

I have heard that quite a bit about Kimber and their dealer pricing. Seems pretty ridiculous.

I am an Arborist and Carpenter. I currently work 4 10's teaching Tree Climbing and Removal to Job Corps students here on the coast. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I try and drum up work for myself as a Consulting Arborist/Tree Service or Carpenter, (licensed, bonded, and insured of course). If I can't find any work, I go surfing or shooting.

Tongue Point?

I "was" a fishing guide in AK. Now I am unemployed with a messed up back. Hopefully it will heal soon and I can go work on tugs or something in the maritime industry.

no, Angell.

I make a living getting people back into hot water!

I own a swimming pool, hot tub and spa Equipment Supply, Install and Repair business. I basicly work with electrical controls and components in spas & pools. As well as plumbing, pumps, filters and heaters (gas and electric), in both.

I stay in the North and South 'west side' of Portland, west to Hillsboro and south to Lake Oswego/Tualitin.

I'm lucky I started it 15 years ago and have a good customer base. I'd hate to be starting this biz now!

Discount for NWFA members? =p

My mom wants a pool here, but I think a hot tub would suffice.

 

[Stomper]

Sheesh... maybe discounts for NWFA members who are supporters, perhaps?
