The trouble with the gun trade in the UK is that it does not pay enough. Plus the simple fact that we are a dying breed from both the change in customers and the persecution we face from the anti brigade . I would not encourage my own son to follow in my footsteps ,as I see no future or any real chance of him making a decent living from it.
I think this is a subject for another topic and may be one, that, our US cousins may not fully comprehed.
