GD never misses a beat.

What kind of repairs at a competition would require machining?
(I have a machine shop) |
|
I imagine it would be a bunch of unbathed fatty fat fats wanting a bunch of shit done for free. Possibly bringing you awesome war relics to drill and tap for scope mounts.

I mean come on I would take an appropriate number and style of say barrels so that if someone needed a new barrel because he wanted one I could do it... or new sights... next you will be telling me I wont win the lottery again stop raining on me and leave facts out of my fantasy... |

The hotdog cart doesn't even get a whole lot of business at the competitions I go to.

Outside a large gunshow would be better. Cut and crown barrels. Thread muzzles. Install new sights on pistols. Drill and tap old Lugers for Leapers red dot sights. Etc.
|
|
Doing it right now. Travel to high schools and teach HS shop students to program and run CNC machines on the trailer. Very cool job as I get to drive around with it, and help a lot of young people develop an interest in a good career.
Once in a while I get to make stuff for myself, Too! CNC Mobil Lab |

I would think a mobile machine shop would do better at off road events.
|
|
Would be more fun to pull up in that rig a bit early and crank out a quick and ugly rifle while everyone watches and then shoot in the match with it

If you had a mobile CNC...people show up with their 0% lowers, jig them up and machine away. As long as they jig the 0% lower, then they push the start..

Umm, That bottom pic in the OP looks like my Ex father in-laws setup. He does field machining and shop machining. You can make some money doing field machining in the oilfield, wind turbines, and refineries.

Cannot confirm nor deny that I have not used the CNC mobile lab to do a little home gunsmithing in free time. Lets just say I like to keep the machines on and making parts!

Boring and Honing cylinders after a meltdown or being grenaded Polishing crankshafts Touching up / replacing valves and seats -guides Welding frames Fabing small parts / press work /etc |

Quoted: I would think a mobile machine shop would do better at off road events. Barsto-Vegas ? KOTH ? It probably would , but you'd be doing a lot more fab work . Hard to carry a decent assortment of round tubing and plate stock. |

I'm surprised noone has mentioned the obvious ...
A mobile van that dispenses ammunition from a vending machine. 5% royalty for the ideer. For another 2% I'll throw in a catchy song. "It's the ammo van, the ammo van is here It's the ammo van, to take you to the happy place, so lets all get on the van right now and load up your boom sticks so you wont be bored" (sung to the music from Dale Gribble - It's The Voting Van) |

Check the government auctions. I've seen a few for sale.
I really like the traveling to schools. That's how I got started in the trade. It's sad most schools sold all their equipment. |

Yeah it is , it's a shame kids arent given an introduction to the trades in an Industrial Arts class like we used to get . My last unit in the Army had one of those that sat in the Motor Pool and collected rust...But I was in a Field Artillery Unit so id never made any sense to me |

One of the nicest shops I've ever seen was the mobile shop that the AMU hauls around with it. I can only imagine what their actual shop at Benning looks like.
But to the OP, if you have lottery money, and you're going all over the place to shooting matches anyway, why not just shoot the matches and enjoy yourself? |
