[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 1625522, member: 3128"] There is another real influence that needs to be considered, too. We are buying items that are a luxury. Manufacturers know that the prices reflect that to a certain extent. Also, there is a pretty decent mark up in these things. That is why guys like Dustin can discount pre-paid orders dramatically. They discount them to a marginal profit margin because being pre paid means none of their operating funds tied up for three to four months waiting for form 4's to come back. These big dealers that stock many different models have huge sums of money tied up for months if not years on items. No way they can do this with slim profit margins and make any money... Especially when they are getting started. Suppressive are just an item that you have to pay to play. Like many of you, I have spent a lot of time on silencertests.com looking at can design and thinking about building my own. The problem I have is that you have to give uncle sugar all of your specs when you put apply for the permit. Basically, you have to have it all worked out ...read no experimentation...before you make the first cut. I guess a guy better be pretty damned good at conceptualization. To me, I'd rather spend a few hundred bucks more and just buy one that someone else has worked out the bugs... [/QUOTE]
