Thank you for the kind words, HD; I have great respect for your point of view. I hope to make the model/system more widely available in the future. I have had a great deal of fun working with it here on this board.

The goal of the model is to serve all gun markets; we now live in a well developed global market system. The USA has historically led in the gun market and siphoned off the more desirable guns of much of the world. As above, when any one market gets out of step, the products go somewhere else. Obviously, some Americans lost "their shirts" by considering TsKIB a BV5 maker. $5,000-$15,000 for best work SLE's makes TsKIB a BV3 maker.
