LOL 556 used to be less than 6 cents a round. These aren't good prices, they're inflated prices.

The point being these things fluctuate with the times. The future could end up being like the past, or we could end up Weimar tier paying carts of paper money for garbage products. Who knows.
The idea that we've 'bottomed out' the gun market is fucking stupid, it can go lower and it will if circumstances demand it.

>remanufactured ammo
>trusting somebody else's reloads

Until Winchester, Remington, et al start making remanufactured ammo with their names at stake, I'll pass.

>>34599260
this isn't stuff you want to stake your life on. I buy cheap ammo to git gud at the range, and i'd rather spend $0.27/rnd learning to fire my weapon than stockpiling shit that most likely i'll never need.
Maybe i'm a poorfag, but i like shooting so a FTF here or there doesn't scare me.

nah I'll keep buying reman and steel ammo for plinking and save the good stuff for serious matters.

>>34599331
You missed the point that >>34599260 was trying to say. With trusting someone else's reloads, you're not concerned with an ftf. The concern is for a hot load or a possible double charge or more. People are idiots. Unless you personally know and trust the reloader (and even then it's still risky), firing someone else's reloads is a gamble. It's best to stick to factory ammo/your reloads. Unless you can't even trust yourself. Then just stick to factory.

how is ammo made in a factory different than ammo that has been reloaded by a reputable company? Other than of course using fired vs new brass? Wouldn't they have some sort of QC to make sure they don't get a lawsuit on their hands?

I don't buy any reman ammo, but I'm also not against it, I'm genuinely curious about why people hate on it.

>glocks only cost $22.53 to make
Even if this number is true, it is the marginal cost or in other words, the cost to produce another unit (material and labor), not the realistic cost of producing the item. You have to factor in things like equipment depreciation, R&D expenses (a real big one), plant overhead (like paying the plant manager and the bills to keep the lights on), marketing (another big one), trademarks, legal costs and unrelated administrative expenses (like CEO salary). Then add in a profit margin (because shareholders like it when a company is profitable) and you have your wholesale costs. After wholesale, you have shipping and another profit markup for the retailer. That is how your "$22.53" becomes $600 MSRP.

This is basic fucking cost accounting.

there is no R&D for glock products, they sell essentially the same gun as they did since the gen1

>>34605812
This does not mean there is no R&D. There are dead end projects and even something as simple as attempts to streamline production by changing the design slightly.

There are two types of manufactures who don't spend money. One has a monopoly with no real fear of a competitor, usually in some niche market or another. The other is a company that is going to die the moment a competitor under cuts them.
