Yes, all good points. Thank you. My wife and I have come up with a tracking system for the uppers I eventually build. Wr have plenty of space too. As soon as I finish my current build I will use it to advertise, take videos of it firing etc.. As for potential customers, if they buy an upper from me whenever that may be, they'll get a 2 or warranty from me and if something is wrong causes by them, I'll fix it or replace it. A website is coming soon. I do have a creed that run the business by. Best quality possible for the most affordable price possible, and arming as many patriots with reliable rifles as I can. I am also going to seriously look into local armorer course, im always wanting to learn more. Yes, ill get an LLC asap as well.Still not 100% sure this isn't another BHI trolling thread, but if not.....
If I was starting this business, these are questions I'd expect to be asked:
Why should I buy an AR built by you, without a history of building them, over one of the established sellers with a long history of building hundreds of them? You only watched some videos, so this venture sounds quite sketchy and short term.
What makes your rifle better, different or at least cheaper than the dozens of other ARs I can buy?
Do you have a secure facility to keep all these parts and assembled rifles in? Do you have a tracking system for all of the parts for each rifle build, so they don't get mixed up?
How long is your warranty? 1 year, 2 years or longer? How do I know you'll be doing this just 6 months from now if I have a problem?
What happens if you make a mistake and damage the parts I sent you? You pay for the same new parts, right?
What is your web address? I'd like to read about your company and see current and past builds. Can I see you torture test them there?
What will your profit margin be on each rifle??
Do you have a business plan? What is your companies mission statement?
I'd start by taking the AR builder courses locally as a beginning to learn the business first hand. Talk to people looking to get rifles built and learn what they want, what their priorities are, how they plan to use them and what they expect to pay for one.
Develop relationships with people so they will know you and will be willing to pay you to build them a rifle later on. Right now all I hear is promises from an unknown person with no experience in ARs.
Build a few and start a web channel and do a 5,000+ and 10,000+ rd torture test of them, to show your work holds up.
Just some things to consider...
