    Starting an ammunition factory may be a worthwhile venture... I mean heck i've run the math and the raw materials for a .223 or .308 are only about 5-6 cents a round.... Seems like if you opend a plant and undercut everyone at 15cents a round you'd still make a killing and probobly be sold out everytime a batch comes out.

    hrmmm... i smell a buisness plan


    Do you need a special license to sell privatly manufactured ammo?

    well thats the material cost only.... i guess formed bullets and casings may make that price go up... but can't you just make that stuff yourself?

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
