Given the state of new CNC manufacturing, there is ZERO reason for someone not to make a Luger.
Or a Mauser Red-9 auto-pistol...and if you didn't wanna fight for the name "Luger",
just remake the KGP68A...nifty little pistol that needed to be all-steel and a wee bit more hand-fitted...
and sized up a wee bit for 9mm & .45acp, instead of/plus its original .32acp & .380acp
The smart thing would be to do it in the Southern US, namely around Pensacola, FL...
wages are low there, you could get tons of ret. military workers for 10-12 an hour...
taxes are nearly non-existant...as long as you aren't on the beach...
two railroad hubs, right on I-10, close to I-65, can get anything anywhere in the US within 2 Days.
and the land is CHEAP away from the beaches...like the idea of 1K per acre??
Construction costs are again low, we don't even have an illegal problem here...
due to the regular folks working for 8-10 per hour, even illegals won't do it that cheap
If you wonder why so many Gun Mfr's are moving out of the North into the South...
those are the reasons why
That and we are GUN FRIENDLY!!
