I love all the good info I pick up out at these sporting goods markets. I have Greatly reduced the number of Remington Brand products I stock in the store since Cerberus has been making there changes. I am tired of "big business" types wrecking our sport by trying to lower costs(cheapen the guns up) and raising prices to make more profits for the investors, ETC.
Well here is an article that might interest you guys:

For those of you that don't care to go read it here is the Gist of it. "Freedom Group" freed up all the employees of Bushmaster by firing ALL of them (as well as Marlin but thats another story) and deciding to move product to their Ilion, NY plant. Richard Dyke, former owner of Bushmaster felt bad enough about it to hire all of the employees back and start making rifles again. Windham Weaponry is the name of the new company. There are actually a few other new AR makers out there that were employees of Bushmaster as well, so think of them next time you trying to decide which AR to purchase.

I have been super busy in the store and running to trade shows so I haven't been running many auctions lately[B)]
I was gonna list up a few auctions in the very near future(possibly tomorrow or else Monday) and I will see what I can come up with[;)] I have alot of that kind of stuff accumulated around there with a bunch more coming in from these shows.
