Are BCM BFH Barrels made by FN?

Depends how much the barrels cost, among other factors, but not enough information is available from your statement.

Somewhere the owner of PSA was quoted as saying they are the biggest customer for FN barrels. Given that infoe it isn't too farfetched to ss-u-m that they are getting them at the same, or better, price as Company 'A.'

Then it boils down to how much PSA spends compared to Company 'A' in prepping for sale and marketing the barrel. Once again, ass-u-me-ing that Company 'A's' paid shills (quoting Stick) don't work for free, and that Company 'A's' advertising and QC efforts cost more than PSA's efforts in the same area, we get that Company 'A' ends up having more in the sale of the barrel than PSA.

Ass-u-me that both companies paid $100.00 for the barrel, and that Company 'A' spent double what PSA did to facilitate the sale of the barrel (QC, packaging, shipping, etc.). Assign an arbitrary expense of $25.00 for PSA and $50.00 for Company 'A'.

Company 'A' has $150.00 in the barrel and sells it for $200.00. If they sell 20 (original example) they stand to make $1000.00

PSA has $125.00 in the barrel, and sells 50 at $150.00. They stand to make $1250.00

It depends as whether you want to focus on premium price, making more per unit and selling less, or volume sales, selling more at smaller profit per unit.

Make your own decision as to which is the best method, businesses do.

Sorry I didn’t read the last 8 pages, this may have been said.

BCM won’t say who thier barrels from so that they can get them from any one they want. This allows them flexibility all they are promising a customer is the dimensions of the barrel and that it is forged. They can use FN today and Daniel Defense tomorrow with out letting any one know.

What the hell kind of question is that?

So you really don't understand or is this your way of craw fishing. It seems pretty simple to me, the first part was a statement "Obviously he and others care or they would not ask," with a question follow up " so tell me how many times have you and your BCM been in a gun fight" ???????

Company 'A' has $150.00 in the barrel and sells it for $200.00. If they sell 20 (original example) they stand to make $1000.00

PSA has $125.00 in the barrel, and sells 50 at $150.00. They stand to make $1250.00

Well you are changing your example, since the thought is they are 'the same barrels from FN'.

So company A only has $125.00 (just like PSA) in the barrel and sells for $200. They make $75 per and make $1500, or $250 more than PSA while only having $2500 invested instead of $6250 like PSA with 50 barrels.

Not to mention capital invested, storage, shipping, etc.

I know what you are saying, but higher sales numbers doesn't remotely mean high profits.

Alright folks that just about does it for this one.

I was -just- about to tell these yahoos that if they can't post with civility, that it'd be forced upon them...
