Ahh you are advertising trigger work but you show no pictures of the trigger, sear and hammer components to show the quality of the work and how you machined/polished them.

While the pictures of the outside of the pistol is nice that does not fit what service you are advertising in the title.

On another note if trigger work is the one thing that if done incorrectly will get you sued in a heart beat. I would strongly recommend doing the FFL and getting business liability insurance because just one bad trigger job can cost you more than the money you could make doing trigger jobs for the next 30 years.

The cost for all the needed permits and business insurance would cost you around $100 per month ...... well worth the investment.

Thanks Dan,

I didn't put picks of a sear or hammer because you can't really see anything. However, the pics of the grip safety, checkering and bobtail show off my work in a much more tangible way.

As for the FFL and insurance, I think that is a good idea and I will look into it.

Thanks, Ryan

Ott1,

I'm guessing that your saying I shouldn't post here with the link you added. I saw other services here so I thought I would try. I've gotten a lot more traffic here than in the services offered forum. However, if its against the rules, I will delete my thread.

Thanks, Ryan

Hi John,

"Btt" means "back to top", as in back to the top of the list. You can bump your thread every 24 hours. It makes your post more visible.

And,

Btt

Not keeping the gun overnight just allows you not to log it into the "bound" book.

If you are making money doing work on guns, ATF says you need an FFL.

See number 1.

Very good point. I was ignorant of that fact. I'll take down my ads until I get my FFL.

Thanks

Good luck to you.

You have a few hoops to jump through getting it (and keeping it), but it actually opens doors for you.
