$25 for an 80% receiver?

[Hdawg]

Rocket Hub has a company looking for funding for 80% AR and 10/22 receivers. 30 bucks for anodized; 25 for in the white IF AND ONLY IF they reach their funding goal. The website is here.
There is a risk, but it is a small amount to risk.

Is it plastic??

You cannot anodize plastic.

Is it plastic??

The website says 6061 T6 aluminum. If they exceed their goal enough they might go with 7075 T6.

Sorry about the dupe post. I tried a search and didn't see it.

I just want to ask (seriously, just asking for information) why you seem to dislike this idea so much. Am I reading too much into your post? If so, I'm sorry. I really am just curious.

Ahahahha i didnt read beyond the title. Been seeing alot of these lately.

It's called "to good to be true".

Having extensive knowledge and background in this specific area of manufacture, $25 for an 80% lower out of actual 6061 or 7075 aluminum is virtually impossible. The 6061 blank alone is more than half of that cost, approx. $17, so you are leaving yourself $8 to cover all of the overhead?

- tool cost / replacement / general maintenance of tools and machine
- electricity (CNCs use a lot of it)
- rent
- staffing / programmer / machinist etc
- coolant and other consumables
- insurance costs

And so on. $25 is a pipe dream IMO, buyer beware.

Trust me, as someone that preordered one of those Red Rock Ord BCGs don't do it. They have the tooling in already and they are having trouble getting **** out. Stick to known companies and you won't get burnt.

Yeah, $25 is basically impossible... Now, if were more like $50, I'd be like... Ehh, Okay... Maybe...

^ +1

the time and material needed to make theses cost more than what they are selling them for. If they are in the business to lose money, that's fine but to me this is as fishy as eating 1 week old egg baked in the sun.

and so far i haven't heard anything from anyone saying they got their lower from these startup websites yet.

Run away from this. This is not the way to start a business.

[fpasuncion]

yea...this does look like a scam, but I think Rguns has some 50% for $20.
