Equipment, software, etc. are not the problem. Cash is. The parent company is an injection molder with tool design staff. Most people just don't realize that before a single part is made from a production tool it can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yes the individual parts are cheaper once you have a running tool, but to get there it takes a lot of money invested. Just for comparison sake the current receiver tool, just the rear section of the receiver not the fore end part, originally cost approx. $75,000 over 10 years ago. That was just for 1 tool. In order to make a different model you may need 2 or more new tools for the receiver.
