Anyone who has perused these forums long enough will undoubtedly encounter posters lamenting the loss of yet another respectable gun company who sold out. This can be for various reasons, including but not limited to cutting corners/cheapening the final product, siding with anti-gun legislators, refusing to sell certain products to civilians, etc.
My point with this thread is not to start an argument about how there are no good gun companies left. What I'm more or less wondering is if every decent company that's been around long enough has at some point been accused of this.
Off the top of my head,
Winchester went downhill in '64
S&W is publically traded, sided with the Clintons, and of course the ILS
Colt (forgot what they did, something with fingerprint access?)
Ruger wouldn't sell hi-cap magazines to civilians
H&K hates you
I can't recall anything mentioned about the following companies, but something has probably been said:
Remington
Springfield Armory
Taurus
Glock
