Start of the new career..
 

Time to let the cat out of the bag, I guess. So, I finished my course work in July and have now secured gainful employment. On August 19 I will be moving to Jacksonville Florida. I will be working as an apprentice gunsmith for Tim Ward at Gunsmiths, Inc. Although they are currently based in Brunswick, GA the shop is expanding to Jacksonville and will be based at the Jacksonville Gun Club (the oldest gun club in the nation). I am looking forward this opportunity, learning a lot more and working on some high quality firearms.

Congratulations! So....can we ask you questions?SmileWavy

Sweet! You should plan on visiting a few of our informal matches - 2nd Sunday of each month at the Osceola Shooting Range - http://myfwc.com/media/1369624/range_brochure.pdf

We mix it up every month - some times it accuracy, sometimes its speed. Shooting starts at 9am, $5 per shooter

Congrats on the new job!

Great - where do we send our beater guns for you to bring back to life? I have an old shotgun I need made into a rifle!? ;)

Congrats on the new job. Good stuff!

Fantastic!
Best of luck!

We need a barter system in here.

Great to see life is unfolding for you as you wish. Enjoy & best of luck.

Whoa Neil! Get down with yo bad self! Congratulations!

woohoo! what will you be working on?

Neil, great work. The best part of the story is knowing that you are following your passion.

Enjoy the new career. Hopefully you will look forward to Monday morning and "getting" to go to work. Going to a job that is something you enjoy is a bonus.

Congrats on finishing your course work and getting your dream job !

Thanks everyone. Yes, you can ask questions. It's the answers that will cost you. :D I will be doing general gunsmithing, but there is also opportunities to work on some higher end firearms as well. Also looking forward to meeting those in the area (and shooting with them).

Congratulations Neil.

Congratulations!

Nice!, Congrats.

Good for you Neil and good luck!

Kool!

I have a couple of hand-spoons that are starting to show early signs of corrosion, how much would you charge to spiff em up a tad?
