So I am in the beginning stages of starting my firearms manufacturing company and am going through doing a buisness plan. Right now I am trying to figure out what kind of profit margins I can make on complete lowers, rifles, and that sort of thing, and I am just getting around to figuring out pricing on individual parts. I have some ideas on where to call around for on things like barrels, uppers, lowers, ext but where I am drawing a blank is small items that comprise the LPK of an Ar15. My question is then is there somewhere that produces and sells these springs, detents, grips ext in bulk to all the other manufactures like colt, rock river arms, spikes ext, or does each company manufacture and market thier own kit. This seems unlikely to me, and I am betting there is on or two companies that produce and distribute to all these other manufactures. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. I would just like to make some initial contacts and find out pricing on these things by the hundreds, thousands and so on.
Thanks
Pat
