  7. MD Arms Double Stack Mag Patent

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Back when we did the testing on the Saiga-12 mags before the first batch, we made 10 magazines.

     

    It cost roughly $5000 total to cut, form, weld and finish 10 magazines.. Each part had to be milled or hand filed to bring it within tolerance. The metal had to be sourced from the same mill that the parts would be made from, so that the spring back could be calculated.. Everything gets small load charges, parts that cost $2 take a day to make from $15 chunks of sample sheet.. We started with 20 only 10 came close enough to the standard to be finished.

     

    Tooling costs a LOT, but unlike the sample mags, it actually fits into the day to day production rather than just getting tossed once testing is done..

     

    My tooling is rated for something like 10,000 magazines.. However we aim to be paid off by batch four, as it is hard to estimate actual sales.

    Amazing! We really appreciate the time spent, money, and risk involved in what you did to make those mags. Very cool, Thanks!

    I really like Alex, he is a good guy. Some of his stuff is pretty out there and I don't have time to fact check every claim, but the clip pertained to this thread so I posted it.

    Since your IQ is so high, riddle me this, how many days did it take to create the universe? Was it six or seven?

    Also since we have such a great mind to pick, are government employee's pay checks paid by using force to extract money from citizens paychecks at the threat of violence or jail?
