Eugene..that it's the only gun that people will pay 15k and up for .

You must realize that Mike Krause has had .45 Lugers for sale for many years. The 15 K you so easily speak of is exactly why only 50 or so were ever sold by him. All of the 15 K buyers are accounted for. I would assume this is why Mike is no longer producing them at that price.
To sell ANY type of .45 Luger the price must be whittled down to much less than 15. It MAY NOT be possible to get it low enough to sell to the blue collar masses.
20 frames in 4 months? Unless you have the services of GE, Raytheon or Boeing you may NEVER produce a frame on your own much less 5 a month.
Before you speak of money down and contracts...I would think it through a little more.
I just happen to be privy to another effort along this line and after MANY thousands of dollars the .45 Luger frame is what stopped the project DOA.
