How many of the springs in the typical firearm are manufactured by the firearm maker?
I might suspect most of such are ordered from elsewhere. So lets go after the real big money companies such as McMaster-Carr or others.

Screws? Same thing. Pick a hardware company that carries any screw, nut, bolt or washer that can be used in an assault rifle. (Pistol grip screw for an Ar-15 comes to mind as well as parts for the sights).

Maybe getting a few of these general companies involved could make things entertaining.
