Thanks for those of you who replied.  I understand what most of you are saying.  That's why I'm hoping I can find a major gun manufacturer who has the tooling and capability of doing a run and not having to put much overhead into it.  In my understanding it would cost a lot for any one of us to build a computer from scratch but having Apple or Dell do it would only cost them a fraction of what it costs us because that's their business.  If Springfield Armory, for example, wanted to make 2500 Krag carbine sporters for the market I'm merely stating that it would be worth their while in not having to make all the parts I could supply them with would save money.  I'm sure somewhere the tooling for the original receivers still exists.  Composite stocks can be made rather inexpensively once the mold is made.  Where there is a will there is a way.  I've been saying for years that the only thing keeping the prices high on producing anything is US.  Why does a replacement stock cost $300 and up?  Because they only make a few dozen of them and they know they CAN charge that much.  But is that the real cost?  What is the real cost of programming a computer to forge a piece of metal into a receiver?  If Winchester does it I'd argue it doesn't cost them much at all.  My mistake is I tend to think big in the hopes that someone else will too.
