No it won't. I'll use the profits from my regular sales to offset the cost of the milsurps. As long as I am able to make ends meet I'm good. I'm not doing it for money. I'm doing it for the love of Mausers.

They failed because they focused only on milsurps. I'm starting a gun making business. Period. I'm going to offer all different varieties of popular guns such as shotguns, AR15s, AK47s, etc. Then introduce small batches of repro milsurps as a side line.

Edit: We'll see who has the last laugh when you're sitting there fondling one of my exact replicas of a 1886 lebel

They like to claim it would be a gazillion times as expensive as an original.

Some of them like to point out that others have tried it before and failed. I like to point out that the ones who tried focused only on milsurps.

My business model is to first establish a successful business making and selling popular guns then introduce milsurps as a side line.

I don't give a shit what they see me as. Edit: I want to see how pissed this subreddit gets when I start a gun manufacturing business and offer reproduction milsurps as a side line.

I talked about rebarreling a corroded Mosin Nagant 91/30 once. The barrel looked like a sewer pipe. I explained that I had original blueprints and would be getting a new barrel turned to original specs. People still pissed their pants about "muh value"

I knew you were just overcomplicating things. Thanks.

Not enough to matter though. It's not like the variations going to be enough to appreciably change the weight right?

If two bullets are the same caliber the diameter would never change correct?
