Sturm Ruger Backlog Is Currently Over $$ Half A Billion !

Over time it is, but huge up front capitol investment.  The infrastructure needed to supply a foundry is just insane.  Granted ruger would be almost hobby scale by the industry as a whole, still going to cost big bucks.  ruger uses litterly what ammounts to a days worth of product for a foundry in a year.

Ruger produces a lot of products for other companies with their sister company, Pine Tree Castings. Golf clubs and model airplane engines are just some of the other products they produce as a outside vendor.

There's no expected delivery date for a Mark II magazine I ordered. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come until next year.
