    Are we being watched by the gun manufacturers?

    I have selected firearms web forums I visit every day. If I note anything of particular interest I will bring it to the attention of the people who need to see it. Sometimes it is an internal concern, other times it might be one of our customers I contact. Regards, Richard C. Hamer

    Is Century Arms junk?

    A quick data point.. I just glanced at the BATFE Annual Firearms Manufacturing And Export Report for 2007. Century Arms MANUFACTURED over 24,000 LONG guns in that year. I believe that was all rifles. That is a large number considering that manufacturing isn't their primary focus (unlike S&W...

    Submitting gun designs to firearm manufacturers

    Gungnir, I appreciate you taking a moment to clarify your guidance to the OP. I am also a bit overly sensitive due to some unjustifed "beatings" I have weathered on other forums. I will certainly face any criticism we have "earned", but I find it difficult to accept the "well I heard"...
