Well howdy folks, Jed here with a question for a Gunsmith.
Q. Why does it take so darn long to build somethin' with so few parts? I reckon most would have to be all of 5 to 8 bits tops?
Now, I'm a patient man and understand that good ol' things come to good ol' boys who wait. But I have a younger (Jethro) who ain't so patient but I reckons has been patient enough. Nigh on two years ago he sourced a 'Smithy' to build heself a rifle. Paid one quarter the price of the darn thing as a deposit and is still waitin'!
The reason I be askin', is coz I's a bit of a constructor meself. Last major project was a 1.1 million dollar build that took only 11.5 months from whoa to go. Current 4 town house project refurbishment and reno with a price tag of just over a cool million will be completed in 9 months. Sheeit it I's coulda built a youngun' in that time if I wasn't so long in the tooth. Yet poor ol' Jethro cain't get a rifle built for a measly ol' 4 grand in nigh on two years.
Dang! What could be so hard with so few bits and chicken feed for cost? Are them thar Smithys' building space shuttles or do they like catchin' zzz's like beaners?
Smithys' fall all over Ol' Jed when they see's him comin'. But that poor young Jethro must need a hour or two in the tub, with Granny on a the end of a scrubbin' brush I reckon... What do y'all reckon?
