Torque wrench question

[Gunanddoglover]

And when I was growing up people didn't have to do crazy financing to buy a house, spend 8 years paying off a car or surrendering more than half of their earnings to a bloated, wasteful set of local, state and federal governments. Complying with governmental mandates including zoning, permitting, etc., is a costly bloody nightmare.

Nobody is getting rich charging a nominal fee to torque a castle nut. The shop owner has to go get his jig to hold your rifle, set it in the vise, clean the parts, go fetch the torque wrench, do the work so the owner doesn't freak out and start whining about it not being done "to my expectations!" and then he gets to clean up and put everything away. Unless he is waiting on that type of job every day and has all his shyte set up, you're probably looking at an hour where this is what the gunsmiff is doing, instead of working on jobs that are ALREADY on his desk/worktable with a customer waiting months.

Take your boom stick with the loose castle nut to Comradski Biden's Socialist Gunsmiff Institute and they may give you quick, effective and free or reduced cost service.

It's for the brotherhood.

I think I may take the OP's advice and start up a busines to seize this opportunity. I'll open a shop, obtain an FFL and offer $10 nut twisting. It'll be my specialty. I may even offer pickup and drop off service for $5 more. Torqued Castlenuts R Us.

I may add as a product offering, a small parts "field repair kit" that contains loads of high quality, name brand components from top tier manufacturers, including a small torque wrench, all contained in a custom, hand painted container you can wear on your belt or attach to the Picatinny rail on your AR, about the size of an Altoid tin. I have a source for hundreds of these tins, he's a member of the brotherhood here.

If only there was a similar survival kit…

At $60 to snug up a buffer tube and if I do 4 at a time, that works out to about $500 an hour. You should be able to knock out 8 or 9 buffer tubes an hour. Your problem is that the only thing you do well is to troll threads. How well does that pay? And yet, here you are. If you spent more time working, less trolling, you would be rich.

If a customer came in to TruPrep and needed a castle nut torqued, and everything was already fully/correctly assembled, I wouldn't charge to do it.

If you want it staked, and I need to do some assembly, there would be a small fee.

Bring me 4 that just need to be torqued (all assembly is already done, and is done properly), I'd probably torque/stake/Oxpho-Blue all 4 for a total of $20-$30.

If you were a good member of the brotherhood you'd let him tell you how much you should charge him. He seems to know so much.

Coming from an AR hater, put the castle nut wrench on there, put some muscle on and carry on...am I wrong?
