If you were offering realistic gunsmith rates, you might actually get experienced people applying.
 
If a real gunsmith applies, anything’s negotiable. 1-2 years experience, $25 is realistic. 90% if applicants barely qualify as armorers.

You are probably right.
As a 35 year experienced machinist, I forget about how little I knew the first year or two.
Someone with only 1-2 years is not that experienced so not worth what a 10+ year guy is.
Carry on.
 
You can make $25/hr. saying "Would you like fries with that?".
There is no room for growth in your alternative nor is pay negotiable. Also they are trying to find a legitimate skilled employee. I think they can do without the smartass commentary.

I think they can do without you speaking for them, hero.
 
You might reach out to this fell if you so choose, PAX
