Pete, When I worked for M----y on building fifties & GPMGs Etc. I asked the boss one day. How do you arrive at your retail prices to the M.O.D? he replied, ' Well, you get your total manufacturing costs added up. Add on 20 percent, & then TREBBLE the figure'........I ALWAYS got the STRONG impression that they looked upon the M.O.D & foriegn equivelents as Mugs!.........

I could tell you tales that would make your hair stand on end Mate!..........& I can GUARANTEE, you could do the same! Lol!
