Look, the receivers are coming, there is no point talking about the economic sense of it. I am only trying to get the crest put on a few of them. It would be milled in, not engraved. I too have purchased a 100 dollar receiver, this is different. If everyone uses 7075, great, I didn't know that. I was trying to convey that these are top of the line stuff. I am only guessing on the price. There's still a ways to go. But I'm trying to gauge interest in the milled crest.
This would not be an item for someone trying to pinch pennies to feed 6 kids. This would be for a guy with some disposable income who could pay a few hundred bucks for a piece that has some significance, and no one else has or is likely to have in the future.
Are you the guy with LW?
