It is amazing how the election of leaders can change an industry.  Two weeks before the election you could get any AR that you wanted.  One distributor we regularly deal with had over 1,200 lowers in stock.  Now lowers are like gold.  People are selling their pets and houses to be able to get them.  In fact, most distributors have been wiped out with the rush to buy before President Elect Obama is sworn into office.  So the country is in a...

Does it matter if you took a trophy buck? Does it matter if you’ve hunted in Africa? Does it matter if you win the accolades of your peers? Does it matter if the gun magazines wrtie about your products? Not really. Today I went to a funeral of a young lady who...
