[DL] Gun bunny revisited

["Jeff Shoffner" <shoffner@esper.com>]

So what you're saying is my gun bunny with a 3d10 in gunsmithing would
essentially be able to do any of the "extras" in the Law Dogs section (set
trigger, cylinder stop, etc.) provided he has a place to purchase the parts,
but as to custom making a gun, he'd have to have a BIG machine shop to do
so....  Hmmm, so provided he found this workshop, would you say he could
make a roll kind of like a MS in order to make a viable gun?  Not talking
gizmos here, just creating say, a Sharps Big .50 variant with a magazine &
bolt action.  Hmmm, wonder how you'd determine the TN for this.....  Say a
base 5 for minor changes (ie: set trigger) & all the way up to, say TN of 13
for totally new from the drawing board custom gun?

>A good gunsmith will know how to tweek a firearm to achieve the most from
it.  This can be shaving flash off of parts, shimming the lock, just
generally blueprinting the firearm and make it sing.  Would the be able to
make a firearm?  Yes, given the proper equipment.  Trip hammers, lathes,
forges, molds, anvils, and an assortment of other equipment needed to
fabricate firearms.  If your folks want to make firearms, fine, but they
need the mulitples of thousands of dollars needed to equip a proper firearms
manufacturing facility.  Off the shelf and customised is going to be easier
and cheaper to do.
