    1911A1 quality?? My NP30 .45 is built like a tank and I've fired well over a thousand rounds without ONE stoppage, God knows what the first owner had through it. I find it to be very rugged and well-made with no issues of any kind

    They are all coming from North Sylva & all dealers are charging the same price.
    Seems like the firearms industry is taking lessons from the oil companies .
    No, if they were taking a lesson from the oil companies, they would be $2000 per rifle, and prepayment would be required in full.

    Bottom line is dealers probably aren't making much more than $150/rifle, which is tiny for the retail industry.

    I ordered one, but I cannot believe that they aren't making more than 150, I'm not trying to start a pi**ing match I just want to know why you think so?

    I think its more because I'm in the construction industry and I am smugly surprised at how average buyers drink the koolaid that retailers are not making a huge profit and value blah import fees because they really don't know, and are so easily convinced when told a bunch of bs by the retailer.

    With that said id say your guess is probably pretty close but maybe on the low side

    I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
