Ok guys obviously since the first day we released a teaser video I have had people email me about adopting our upper for a mac lower. I am going to open this up for discussion as long as the following can be observed.
1. We are a business of 8 people that must make a profit to feed our families. We pick products based on profitably not "just because" and none of us own semi or full auto macs, though we do know one person with a full auto if we needed it for r&d, meaning none of us have a personal desire to make this a reality.
2. Yes we understand there is a good amount of full auto mac owners but getting enough of them to commit to a product and price point is all that matters. The FM-9 took a year and a half so you can imagine the $ for dev.
3. The FM-9 was created not just with the M16 crowd in mind but also the 7 million+ semi auto AR15 crowd in mind as well.
4. Getting someone that spent 20-30k to spend $2500 is much easier than getting someone who spent $5000ish to spend that same $2500.
5. We aren't looking for people to come on here and say "it's simple and shouldn't cost more than $x" if it's that simple and cheap then we would love for you to do it instead of us and we will sell you parts
6. If we can't make a good product for a profit we won't make it. Our personal feelings won't allow us to make something cheap just to put in on the market and as such be prepared to not like our price or for the product to be cost prohibitive to get made leaving use with just a discussion.
All in all I am looking for discussion that gets us the information we need to see if this is a viable product. I'm not here to argue that can be done in other threads so lets keep it positive and maybe get a new product on the market! :twoguns
