Neat stuff Donnie!
Wonder what their cost was for the barrel/receiver assembly. All done inhouse, so cost of the tube steel and bar stock, plus labor.

About 25% of retail price (pre-distributor biz model). About $92. In today's dollars. Probably very close to today's mfg parts cost with an injection molded frame?
Very cool records.
