I am not sure if Styer would want to invest in the machines needed to finish receiver castings here in the US.

It could be done with just a couple of CNC machines.

.....and don't forget the labor and maintenance costs to run those machines. |

From what I have read the blanks or castings are sent to VLTOR to become AUG receivers... |

Machining a receiver is part of the process of building a firearm. Final assembly of components into a weapon/testing/QC and distribution is the BIG picture. Sure, Steyr could buy, install all the CNC technology they needed, but it's still a business and they would have to pass on that cost to the end user - us. Instead they chose to pass off the CNC process to VLTOR - a respected manufacturer in the industry. Good decision - cost savings (You might be surprised "who" actually machined the upper/lower receivers of some of your AR's)
