There sure are allot of goodies for the AR, not since the Hey-Day of the M-1 Carbine have we seen so many, due-dads.
About the price, of course I come from the other side of the fence. You can borrow a mill from a buddy, which cost him how much? Then after you mooched his mill, you've got what, driving over to his garage, driving to get the steel, the cost of the steel (which is at a premium cost, because of such a small amount), clearing the stuff away from the mill, the actual set-up it's self, not to mention the 1000 other little things you'll need (cutters, pop, hamburger, a good time consuming chat with the buddy, ect., ect., ect,), add that all up and you spent way-way more, than the $15 bucks and the 5-6hrs it took you to build the swivel yourself.
Now you want to build 10,000 of them and you need to sell them to say a MidWay or go broke, they have to add-on their over head. Add too all of this, you might want to buy your own mill and a CNC Mill, which your going to need, if you plan on building them all sometime this century, starts at $75,000 +-. What would you charge now?..
