Their customer service is often said to be outstanding.

They have a lifetime- no questions asked - guarantee regardless if you are the original purchaser or not.

Yeah, that's what I'm told. Though I've not shot any, I give a nod to Hi Points, especially when budgets are tight.

I suspect its related to manufacturing capability. I would reason it is far more for production tooling costs & setup than capability ... Think about it, as an example, when the Thompson/Center factory building muzzleloaders (straight profile barrels) in NH burned down, the biggest obstscle to any ...

This is a question answerable by basic economics: price of related goods as a factor of demand. If related goods are expensive, it means demand for the product will be less. (and vice versa).

Tagged at $699, I think they are tired of looking at it and I think I could get it for $400 if I tried.

I've seen similar ones a few years ago for as low as $300. $400 doesn't sound out of the question.

Not long ago, I saw a WWII documentary and the people portraying/reenacting Japanese and Russian troops were carrying Enfields.

As I understand, a lot of importers simply reamed the chamber exactly as you say, but a standard .308 bullet does not engage the rifling well due to a smaller diameter.

There is also the demise of the old Samco Global company of the mid 1980s.

I think they were badly managed, though, in the area of customer service. I saw a lot of bad comments from people who complained that they got a cold shoulder on the phone lines.

I shot a button buck last week--mistook it for a doe.

Hunting this weekend to fill the buck tag.

Any idea as to why they folded?

Yep. That was the one.

That is a neat show. Truth be told, I like all gunshows as it gets me around guns, but the MVC show is probably the best.

Went to a gun show here in Kansas City yesterday. it was great to finally see a gun show with a LOT of guns. Hector If you were at the Expocenter near the airport, it was the Missouri Valley Collectors annual show. It's different from other shows because it's a club event. I did not go as I was out...

Nice rifle!

I've often thought of landing a T-53. Fireballs make for shooting fun.
