I don't imagine that the pay is that great but the working conditions would be in a warm building is my guess

about minimum wage. There isn't a huge market for gunsmiths. Most people will replace their guns rather than spend any amount of money of them. Another problem is all your buddies will expect you to work for free.

you would pretty much have to open a gun shop and offer the gunsmithing as a service. even then It might be a tough go of it.
