I am in the midst of doing just that. Opening a shop again. Overhead is going to be slight cause I'm building a garage and turning the one I use now into my shop. If you don't mind making a reasonable profit on things it isn't hard to make money. When I had the place back east my biggest headache was the insurance costs for working on guns. I had to make 3000 bucks before I cleared a penny..but we do live in a litigious society. I may not work on guns again just for that reason. When I sold guns before I made way more on a used one than new. Competeing with Wally World isn't too hard. They don't take trades....I did. and gave serviece after the sale. Wally World employees give you that deer in the headlights stare when you ask a hard question ya know! I made 15% on large items like reloaders etc and much more on the little things..especially the ones ya can't get at WW. What is hurting now is the price of loading supplies etc. The spot price on lead on Friday was at 1.57 a pound...raw lead..not shot or bullets. Get ready to bend over soon.!!
