[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 2049480"] but your premise relies on the concept that manufacturers only have to meet a baseline of “didn’t blow up without chamber pressure” to release a firearm into the hands of the public. that is literally the recipe for someone killing themselves and getting sued to oblivion. Why would anyone use that as a baseline? baselines that are more likely IMO: Safe with [B]over[/B] full power loads at full pressure Function well Accurate Fit and finish/worksmanship Looks good all of these things have to be done for it to be even kind of viable, much less successful. Companies have to have a product that will SELL and make money doing so or they aren’t going to make it. That’s why they exist. Then add in how many you’ll actually produce and sell, which is very few because ammo cost is so high and no one actually “needs” one so it doesn’t take purchasing priority and they have to increase prices to cover machinery cost. If someone could produce 50bmgs at less than the other manufacturers and make a profit they would be likely doing it because they would sell. I wish they would, I tried to buy an ar50 this year and couldn’t find one for a price I could commit to. Would prefer a semi, but I’m only spending 5k+ on accurate rifles [/QUOTE]
