Welding in Gun Industry

>>33011719
a booty call for the foreman? The fuck are you doing?
Generally, only in companies that make guns with welds will you see a job as such, if you were say, a machinist, then it would be cool since you'd basically be able to work pretty much anywhere, so here's what you have to look for.
>AK pattern rifles with stamped receivers.
>HK style rifles like PTR
>Stamped anything really
>design your own gun.
>Really, literally any gun with stamped receivers as parts are either welded on like I suspect the rails are in AKs or receivers are welded together like the seam on the bottom of all HK roller locking designs.
If you find a company that makes these, they'll have some use for you, assuming they have an opening.
Now that I've answered your question, please explain How or rather WHY you are "...A booty call for foremen..."

If you are an industrial robot you might find work at a firearms manufacturer.

I'm a broke dick machinist's assistant making 12/hr, wish I made 23/hr

Sometimes I see a small company making guns out of HK parts, which have a hair amount of welding involved. Try to find one of them. I have no idea about big companies, but I'd assume they are much harder to get into.

My whole intent was to get my foot in the door to the wider welding world but all it was was some shit job slapping stick welds onto petroleum tanks. I've been out of work for almost three months now "because it's just slow" according to my boss.

I guess you could use your expertise to make some two-piece muzzle devices in a small shop.

Welding is more common in fabrication of those things that people like to admit.

How much does the machinist make?

You near the coast?

maybe naval yard/dock/port work?

Don't assume my identity or mock robokin

>>33011888
Machinist with no assistant. I make $23 an hour too, sometimes I think it's not worth the slow smothering of my soul.

>>33011719
Go local tradesman.

>>33011719
Suppressor shops probably do stuff like weld titanium and inconel, if you have the skills.

>>33011719
Learn machining, use the capital from welding to start your own shop producing gun-related parts.

ask the CNC operator guy, he makes like $13/hr to watch a CNC run all day.

It could be a lot worse. On the plus side you might get the skills to do small manufacturing runs of a product for some spare cash, if you buy your own equipment.

Not learning operation. They're teaching me CADCAM and G-codes.

But if its for just $23 an hour, I'll go look for work elsewhere.

hmmm

So you might be in the engineering/drafting dept. I don't work in the industry or I would be of more help :/ sorry
