Copied from GSI website:Notice to All Steyr Mannlicher CustomersDear Valued Customer,As of today, January 21, 2002, GSI has yet to hear from Steyr Mannlicher's new management regarding future importation, distribution, and servicing of their products. Therefore, GSI must assume that we will no longer be representing Steyr Mannlicher as their U.S Importer and service center.As a result, GSI regrets to inform you that we will no longer be able to perform free service on your Steyr Mannlicher firearm in accordance with Steyr Mannlicher's "Manufacturer's Free Service Agreement." Since Steyr Mannlicher has not, as of January 21, 2002, notified us the name and location of the new U.S. service center, we suggest you contact them directly at the following:Steyr Mannlicher AG & Co KGPostfach 1000, A-4400Steyr, AustriaEmail - office@steyr-mannlicher.comPhone - 011-43-7252-8960Depending upon availability of our on-hand spare parts, GSI will continue to provide customer paid service on Steyr Mannlicher products.GSI sincerely regrets any inconvenience this may cause you. We greatly appreciate the years of commitment many of you have given to our company and Steyr's products, and we look forward to the future business we hope to continue with each of you.

    I believe I read that Steyr Mannlicher was dispossessed from their property by an auto manufacturer. Are they still in business and did they find somewhere else to set up ?

    Steyr had been for sale by Creditinstalt Bank for some time. Last August, it was bought by an Austrian reorganization firm called Cura Investholding. The sale INCLUDES the real estate.The new owners are reported to be concentrating on the "profitable" market lines, and especially the US market.I suspect that GSI has gotten frozen out by Steyr. The smart money is that Steyr will open a wholly-owned US distributor instead of giving up that piece of the pie.I sell a LOT of Steyr, and they are one of my first stops in Vegas next week. Maybe we'll get some straight answers by then.
