    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    Care to sell? :D

    You sure are doom and gloom.

    I'm afraid I don't understand your comments ????
    Sorry, just my sneaky way of getting you to tell us how many units you have.
    "If the price is right, I know a lot of those Semi M53's would get sold just from CGN members alone!"
    A Typical production run would be 2,000 units, unless I am very wrong I can't see the Canadian market absorbing that many....
    John
    Unfortunately, I agree. That's a whack load of units to build!
    Any possibility selling them as unfinished semi kits? "Build your own" using your plans? This is offered by many US outfits. :D

    B]I said a couple of million, I did not feel that it required me to break down all cost for you;
    There is the actual purchase of the guns, the manufacturing of a new receiver, the machining of the internals, manufacturing of a new trigger group, packaging crating and shipping to Canada....
    [/B]

    Oh wait you're going to want to mark them up to make a profit aren't you Yes my friend we are in business to make a profit, I know this is a dirty word for the socialist minded out there....

    100% ? 200% ? 300% ? 400% ? How the hell do you arrive at these wild conclusions, have you been partaking of some of BC's finer agricultural products ??

    Whats a non restricted semi auto MG42/M53 go for ? The target price was $2,400. with spare barrel, carrier, ammo boxes, belts, tool pouch, etc,etc.

    Maybe I can only afford 1

    Heck! I could afford two of those!

    But I gotta ask again, is there any way to pre order the new MG34's coming in? Is there ANYONE out there with one collecting dust that I could purchase off them? I have a very lonely 1941 MG34 Lafette.

    You really need to get a sense of humor

    Your right, it makes perfect sense. It would tie up your money, and Interest on a few million could eat up a most of your profit margin over a long enough period of time. So I guess I'll have to wait, but someday is better than never.
    Rumor control! Here are the facts:
    -Disarming inocent people,
    doesn't protect inocent people.

    -Criminals cannot be disarmed.

    2.5k Sounds perfectly reasonable for an admittedly niche product.
    If you're going through hell, keep going.

    so no MG42
    There's Mil-spec, and then there's Gunnutz-spec.
    One is stringent, the other contains nuts.
