Any competent gunsmith can and would give their left nut to get this contract, but I understand the govt wants some stability and reliability for the end product, hell, it only took them 30 years to get it done, I hope it works out for the Rangers.. Govt spent 2 billion on a useless registry for nothing, what's 50 mil for something that counts, peanuts in dip **** land.

The cost is normally fixed for the delivery of the product within the timelines. I don't have the contract nor the tender in front of me however that is normally how they do it. Delivery within the timelines laid out in the tender at a fixed price. So it might something like delivery of X rifles a month for Y number of months.
I think it will work out fine for the Rangers. The Enfields did there duty but in the end, parts had finally run out so they had to tender a replacement.
