Operational Details
Pawn shops derive their revenue from giving cash
advances on any number of articles, usually musical instruments, jewelry, hand
and power tools, TVS, etc. Customers redeem their merchandise by paying back
the loan and a high rate of interest. If the article is unclaimed, it becomes
the property of the store owner.Gunsmith shops buy and sell firearms including
rifles and handguns. Repairs can include refinishing a rifle stock to re-bluing
a barrel that is rusted. The repair is considered light as items lifted are
under 25 lbs. and can be fixed in a bench mounted vice. Gun barrels are placed
in vats and/or heat treated to bond the bluing to the barrel. Lubricating and
oiling older models is also an important part of the business, as without the
bolt, slide action, or firing pin working, the gun will not fire. Reaming out
barrels to restore them, or refurbishing the interior of the barrel is done by
using a specially built lathe that handles smaller objects.Firework shops sell all types of fireworks for various
types of celebrations and events. These shops may also set up the fireworks,
which would be seen as incidental to the sale.
