New parts for old guns ideas needed.

[gorillastomp]

Yes

This may be possible I have already been kicking around the idea. Tungsten Mini Uzi bolts is getting kicked around also. Pricing is going to be the key on tungsten items.

In the UZI family semi auto full size and mini closed bolts would definitely sell, mini bolts especially as originals go for crazy cash when they can be found.

What are your manufacturing capabilities? The mini-Uzi sidefolding stocks, to include the welded in backplate they attach to, are unobtanium but would require metal bending and welding capabilities, not just CNC machining centers. Mini-Uzi topcovers would sell as well but you would need stamping dies. If that is an option, lots of folks would love to make a Mini using a full size parts kit. Currently the only option for this is a "repair channel" that is essentially the center section of the receiver you weld the front and back from the kit to. Unfortunately the Mini uses a different rib pattern so they never look quite right, if you could make a mini repair section that was essentially the whole receiver from the trunnion back in the correct pattern those would sell well. Especially if you had the other Mini parts available. A full size repair section like that exists so a mini should be do-able, legally speaking.

Can you make magazines? Steyr GB handgun mags go for well over $100 each these days, if you could crank some out in the $50 range you could sell a bunch.

It’s a possibility but most of the things I am looking at will be CNC items. The fastest way to start this off will be CNC. Then if this works out we can expand into other things.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a reasonably priced SW76/MK760 bolt.

 

[serendipitist]

full size uzi semi bolts, firing pin assemblies

Yes

 

[gorillastomp]

I am starting to get some movement. Waiting on prices for MK760 bolts and small parts. Hope to have an estimate soon and will start a list.

If you are going to get into tungsten alloy bolts, you might want to look at the Reising submachinegun. Nice closed bolt design but runs around 900 RPM. A tungsten bolt would slow it down. It would not be a huge market but I would think that you might be able to sell a couple hundred bolts. Judge interest on the Riesing Talk forum. Good luck with the venture.

This haa already been discussed.
The M10-45 W bolt is so heavy it’ll batter the rest of the gun and cause damage to your registered receiver.
I’ll sell one of two prototypes for $1750 but you’ll be sorry. No guarantees, no warranty, no support.
You pay your money, you take your chances.

Adaptors for 5.56 Rifles (including Bolt Actions) so they can accept AR Mags. Sell them for less than $100, and you'll stay busy for the rest of your life.
