The main reason for purchasing 10 for the shop, was to be able to put four or five different cerakote patterns on the same type of firearm. Makes the display a little more eye-popping

i love boom sticks

Ohh purdy

Sell them for 220, oh you want cerakote? 450

that's how you actually make a profit... short version, if you want to have a million dollars selling guns, just start with 2 million.

Ain't that the truth. A lot of stuff gets sold for 30-40 overcost on average.

My acog was 1200 at shop cost. My SLR TiN bcg was 229 after tax. Shop paid 200.

So not a whole lot of profit at all

Oof. That's disappointing. I used to want to sell gun parts.

@Potatoes O'Reilly yeah it only gets profitable once you get to being a distributor or manufacturer

I wanted to manufacture parts, but CNC mills be expensive.

Well extremely profitable

Cheap cnc that's used and big enough for a lower receiver is around 30k

I'm looking forward to getting ammo manufacturing going. Should be up in a month or two and ammo is getting scarcer.

@Drunk Trooper are you type 7?

@bravoN7 what type of what?

Diabeetus. 😂

Lol, FFL?

yeah, manufacturing firearms and ammo

you can do a lot of stuff but supposedly it's a pain in the dick because the ATF can harass you for papers if they feel like it

Honestly kinda wanna become a garage ffl just so my buds can do transfers and shit dirt cheap

Type 3!

i feel like its not worth the hassle of dealing with the ATF

@Mountain Man 🏔 oh... it's not easy dealing with literally pointless bureaucracy

My dad knows a guy who has a form 7 just so they can keep their machinegun collection, but the ATF constantly harasses them for records of all of their firearms and sales for no discernable reason

he has to make sales every once in a while or the atf threatens to take away his permit

Yep, I have a type 7 mostly so I can mass produce ammo! For the Republic!

it's a shame too since his collection is basically a private museum, lots of relics. I wanna say they had a couple of lmg's with sequential serial numbers

That's why they are harassing them, new ATF rules don't allow collectors to skirt the "rules". They want folks to get the type 3 for collecting and curios

I can make machine gun "samples" that are not for sale... muahahaha

I'm half tempted to get a binary trigger but I don't know how reliable they are

I don't *need* rapid fire, but the government doesn't *need* to be a bunch of bitches either. I do need a trigger that will work every time though.

But then I have to be ITAR compliant and that's a huge can of worms. Binary triggers are not a great option other than range toys, but they are relatively safe and reliable

Yea I’m interested in putting one of those frostech echo triggers

Being a manufacturer I'm pretty sure means you can no longer engage in private sales. Every transaction has to be a 4473 transaction. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The only issue I've seen with the fostech echo 2 seems to be light strikes if your buffer isn't heavy enough, which is a weird issue but it really is the buffer weight

Only sales through my store, I can still do a p2p sale but not from the company stock

Oh thank God. I wouldn't even consider it for a second if it meant no more p2p.

Lol

I'm going to crash early tonight, the ass crack of dawn comes early!

Who's Dawn and can I come in her ass crack too?
