I would describe Chris as a semi-pro gunsmith.😅👍

Much appreciated :)

I like that and just might steal that from you.

If only the Olympics had a "gunsmith" competition:
" And now for the first round, each contestant will have only 15 minutes to dig through a box of miscellaneous AK, AR, and Shotgun parts, to assemble a fully functional gun. Bonus points for building more than one from these random, unmarked parts"
" Round 2, we will watch as our semi- finalist mill and drill 80% kits into both a working pistol and rifle, they get 30 minutes for this round"
"And finally, we will watch the finalists compete to explain American Gun Laws and Rules in a clear, decisive manner. All within 20 minutes, using 200 words or less." 🤔🤣🇺🇸
