Oh there was indeed a boycott and it was effective.
This is why the Ruger family bailed out when Bill died and the Brits dumped S&W.
Sales had slumped the companies were in trouble and they got out while the gettin' was good.
Kudos to the new owners of these companies for being able to overcome the bad blood and win back gun buyers to save these American institutions.
That's why I'm not sure why some die-hards are still hanging onto their grudge 10 years later.
We won guys, we proved our point!
What is to be gained by continuing to hate the new owners and boycott their products for what the old owners did???
