Quoted from ccotenj:i wish they'd get repro'd too.... i wonder what it would cost to do the tooling?
Nowadays they probably would not even tool up for a small run.
They would lasercut the blanks, then bend them

1000 is that magical number in manufacturing where the price nosedives. You will find that on small runs, the set up of the presses cost more than the stock.
A buck or two depending on the gauge and required finish of the stock.
Manufacturing parts is material + steps.
So lets say the steel is $60 and then you have to figure out the steps:
1. Laser cut (parts are nested together to get max use from a sheet of stock).
2. Bend 90* small arms
3. Radius bend sides plate
4. Radius bend front plate
5. Send out for plating (if desired)
6. Press rivet
