Cal15-bs interest?

[bombadillo]

Yeah, I'd potentially be interested in more than 2 but I really need to know how much they're going to run. Also, if its possible to just leave it raw aluminum, and not anodize it for making it cheaper for cost, that would be just fine with me. I don't need it anodized or anything for it to work properly.

Unless they come out at 50 bucks each. I can't believe it is that hard to get a quote.

Quotes are a PITA.
Seems simple enough...just ask the machine shop to give you a price...
The CNC guy has to consider material, fixture costs, machine and programing time.
The CNC guy usually does not do anodizing or powder coating finishes.
So the parts will have to go to the guy who does finishes.
The finish guy has to consider material, racking and handling and maybe making racks if he has nothing suitable.
The finish guy does not make racks, so another guy has to quote the racks to the finish guy before the finish guy can quote to the CNC guy.

So we get our quote, but all this will get us is a bunch of finished parts in bulk in a big box.
Now we need to put the parts together and get them in a package for sale.
Depending on the package needed, if not a off-the-shelf item like a plastic bag or padded envelope, next a quote is needed for packaging materials and the packaging itself.
Hopefully we don't need a molded styrofoam holder insert to hold the part in the package, 'cause now we need another quote for that.
Somebody needs to make instructions on how to install and use the part, maybe done in-house, maybe need another quote for outside services.

It always takes longer than you think it would.
If business was easy and quick, everyone would do it.

This is so true. I have a full time job that will blindside me with a double-shift and a quick turn too. I'm striving to get you the best product at a reasonable price. My plan is to order more than 100, but will give the first 100 order a discount.

I don't do this to build an empire. In fact it started out with my own interest with Robinson Arms M96 that is shot without a pistol grip. Then with my OLL AR15s. I was proud to have built something out of my hobby table in my garage. Then friends saw what I had and requested for me to make some for them. So it goes to another batch. I'm working on it.

Alright folks I have an update on pricing. As most of you know it's not an overnight item since I'm not into this full time. The first 100 units ordered will be $21 each + S&I (USPS). After the first 100 the pricing will be $24.50 each +S&I. Paypal payments will incur a 3.5% fee.

[Flintlock Tom]

Sounds good. How do we go about ordering?

Thanks!

[rickster1269]

[JTROKS]

As of now I don't have finished products. I will post again where to mail/email orders and paypal payments.
