I just opened up a retail gun store with full-service gunsmith facility in Manhattan, Montana and I am looking for a qualified, trained and experienced gunsmith to run the smith operation.

I graduated from the Yavapai College gunsmith program about ten years ago and did gun work off and on until opening my own gunsmith business in 2014. The retail opportunity presented itself in 2016 and we just opened the doors about seven weeks ago. since I need to focus on the retail side, I need someone to take over the gun work. The Gallatin Valley, where the shop is located, has an unbelievable need for competent gunsmiths and the work includes anything from high-end double shotguns, custom rifle builds, basic repairs and cleanings and EVERYTHING in between.

We do have an individual who is ready to step into an apprentice type position to take the load off of the main gunsmith with cleanings and basic jobs, and I am able to do anything as well, as time permits, to keep the main guy focused. Obviously there are a lot of details to work out but if anyone is interested, please call the shop, Empire Arms and Ammunition at 1-406-284-3000 between 9:30-6:00 Tuesday - Saturday Mountain Time Zone or email at [email protected].
 
I am currently attending Pennsylvania Gunsmith School and, while I know it's a while yet, I graduate in December of next year. My wife and I dream of a life in western MT, right where you are. This definitely interests me, and if you are still looking for a smith down the road or know someone who is, get ahold of me and I would love to talk about an opportunity in your area.

I appreciate your response. Definitely needing someone sooner, however I have big plans and this valley is one of the fastest growing counties in the country. The demand for gunsmiths is huge so hopefully we will be ready to bring on more help by then. Definitely a great place to live. Write down the shop number and feel free to keep in touch. Thanks again.
