yup, again!

I bought one of their revolvers this year...guess I help out

Odd as they had layoffs up here in their hunting production and machining operations. The falloff in demand for the AR15 closed up some manufacturing of their barrel facilities and they also produce parts for other manufacturers.

 

Unfortunatly those numbers are based on the record sales of early 2009. They won't be repeated in 2010 based on current sales levels.

I do not think they will be repeated either, the obama scare is over. ammo is even becoming available.

I stopped by a rather large and popular outdoor store on the ME/NH border. The shelves were pretty much full, and on the sales floor they had pallets of Speer 250 round boxes of pistol ammo. they even had some primers in stock. Prices were so-so but this place is note noted for low pricing.

 

They had an entire rack or AR style rifles, up from zero not to long ago. This is a sign of the times in certain areas..
