Are there any central ohio firearms manufacturers?  I have been working at lowe's for almost a year now, but my interests are not there.  Back home in Cleveland I worked in a machine shop, and that is the sort of thing I'm looking for.  I go to school full time though, so i need some more flexible hours.  I love firearms and I'd like to get into a shop that is involved in manufacturing them, but I don't know of any around here.  A gunsmith maybe, but from what I've seen small gunsmiths tend to be pretty weak on machining.  I just wondered if any of you guys were involved in manufacturing and could point me in a good direction, what would be a good start.  I want something that will apply to my career after I get my degree, and help me get a job.  I'm looking to get an ME degree from OSU (I already have 3 years there as a math major, but I want to change), and right now am growing close to an associates in mechanical engineering "tech" at cscc

I almost hate to even type this, but the only one I can think of is High Point.  They're located in Mansfield.  It might be a way to get your foot in the door of the industry and recognize, immediately, how junk is made.
