Rostic Arms: Your Favorite Rifle Company

As a certified firearm instructor, I host pistol and rifle courses all the time. When it comes to rifles, I noticed there's a shortage of supply in entry level rifles that had a decent level of quality. After doing research into manufacturing, and getting properly licensed in February, ROSTIC ARMS (the manufacturing company) was born.

About this idea
We want to provide high quality rifles at affordable prices. We are the perfect company to do this as our owner has taught over 700+ firearm students, and has 14+ years of manufacturing leadership experience. With a solid understanding of what rifle owners are looking for in a quality rifle, we believe we can provide a quality product to the market and are currently beginning production to test our theory. Our mission is simple. We want to deliver a consistent supply of quality products.
Impact
Our target is entry level rifle owners. We encounter a lot of them who know they want a quality rifle, but don't even know what that means. We already produce video content to educate, but we want to have more events around educating people. The real impact is in the value we provide the customer. By manufacturing rifles ourselves, we save on costs, and can afford to provide the customer with higher quality components that make functionality and reliability higher than buying the standard entry level rifle off the shelf of your local sporting goods store.
What I'll do with $5,000
We currently mill out the components by hand. With this money, we plan to invest in a table top CNC machine that can take our production to a much higher level. This would specifically be for production of our lower receivers, which a rifle is built around. You could say it's the heart of the rifle. It currently takes us 2 hours to produce one lower receiver by hand. With a tabletop CNC, we could produce a lower receiver in 15 minutes. It also would machine the parts with more precision than what we currently do by hand. We could outsource this process, but that builds cost back into the rifle and we would have to pass that cost back along to the customer. This tabletop CNC machine would allow us to take what we currently do, and ramp it up to a sustainable process once volumes increase the way we project.
